More about this course
  • Interest in meditation, mindfulness, and contemplation has grown rapidly in recent years. These practises are increasingly being seen as scientifically and psychologically valid forms of therapy.
  • As new evidence from neuroscience backs up the claims for mindfulness value, it is now being adopted by practitioners as a tool for therapy, and by big business as a 'lifestyle choice'.
  • But what is mindfulness? And how exactly does it work? On this course you'll explore the academic underpinnings of mindfulness - stripping away its 'mystery' once and for all.
