사회적 마음챙김

Abstract

Mindfulness is having such a profound impact on contemporary world that it has been described as “The Mindfulness Revolution.” While mindfulness is known to be based on Buddhist teachings and practices, it has also been used in secular modern psychology and psychotherapy in non-religious and post-religious ways, and there is even an emergence of trans-religious mindfulness that crosses religious boundaries. In this article, I will examine the recent development of ‘Christian mindfulness’ and explore how Christianity’s ‘personal dimension’ of ‘heartfulness’ and its ‘liberative dimension’ of ‘social spirituality’ can contribute to the formation of the ‘social mindfulness’ called for in times of suffering.
