Mindfulness
Mindfulness is talked about a lot these days, with many people, including Christians, extolling its benefits. But some Christians are nervous, fearing that it might be unbiblical, or lead them away from faith in Christ.
I’ve been practising mindfulness for some years now, and have found it incredibly helpful. I’ve also discovered that much of modern mindfulness is entirely consistent with the Bible’s account of what it means to be human.
I have trained as a mindfulness teacher with MindfulnessUK, and devised a course called ‘ChristMind’ which is a mindfulness course similar to the popular MBSR and MBCT courses. But ChristMind is a course for Christians, where I will show how the practices we do are simply applications of good theology of what it means to be human, and of who God is.
I’m running these courses to try to help Christians avoid two potential pitfalls:
-
Being so scared of mindfulness as ‘Buddhist’ that Christians aren’t able to benefit from its helpful insights.
-
Engaging uncritically with everything that goes by the name ‘mindfulness’ which on some courses may include some elements that contradict the Christian faith.
