Mindfulness   |   Resources

We believe that Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques provide a solid, demonstrable foundation for addressing secondary trauma and PTSD; we promote the use of these techniques to law enforcement and armed forces personnel through educational seminars and workshops.

Mindfulness is a way of learning to relate directly to whatever is happening in our lives, a way of taking charge of our lives, a way of doing something for ourselves that no one else will, or can, do for us — systematically and consciously working with the challenges and demands of everyday life.

The goal of mindfulness practice is to gain a first-hand understanding of the way things are, without reliance on the opinions or theories of others — to have a direct, intimate experience, one which gives rise to that deep sense of calm that comes from knowing something for oneself, beyond any doubt.

Our favicon is the Yijing hexagram for T'ai; it denotes a time in nature when heaven seems to be on earth, when peace and blessings descend on all living things. The word T'ai means contentment, rest, peace, in the positive sense of unobstructed, complete union, bringing about a time of universal flowering, prosperity and greatness.

Any merit accrued from this effort is dedicated to all sentient beings.
