How Christian Faith Compares and Conflicts with Mindfulness

Journal of Biblical Counseling 33:1

This article discusses a significant trend in contemporary secular psychotherapy. Jackson describes how mindfulness was introduced into western care models for distress management. She evaluates its appeal, philosophical assumptions, and popular practices, with reflection on how mindfulness imperfectly points to its Christian analogues of meditation, prayer, and embodied faith.
