The applications and use of mindfulness-based interventions in medicine, mental health care, and education have been expanding as rapidly as the empirical evidence base that is validating and recommending them. This growth has created a powerful demand for professionals who can effectively deliver these interventions, and for the training of new professionals who can enter the field. Ironically, while the scientific literature on mindfulness has surged, little attention has been paid to the critical aspects of who and how mindfulness pedagogy is implemented. Teaching Mindfulness is the first in-depth treatment of the person and skills of the mindfulness teacher. It is intended as a practical guide to the landscape of teaching, to help those with a new or growing interest in mindfulness-based interventions develop both personal authenticity and practical know-how that can make teaching mindfulness effective.
