We wish you all a happy and healthy 2012.
Last month we were delighted to meet Dr Maya Spencer and Karen Atkinson of the York House Centre and Mindfulnessuk.
They explained the origins of mindfulness in Buddhism and Yogis and how Jon Kabot-Zinn has modified the teachings so that it is applicable to all with a non religious base but maintaining integrity value and purpose . InAmericaandAustraliamindfulness is incorporated into parenting and mindfulness for Parents and Children is a growing approach.
Mindful parenting {educating} is the hardest job on the planet, but it’s also one that has the potential for the deepest kinds of satisfactions over the life span, and the greatest feelings of interconnectedness and community and belonging.” Jon Kabat-Zinn
