Mindfulness   |   Resources   |   Training

Mindfulness provides a solid foundation for addressing PTSD and secondary trauma; the Tactical Awareness Institute promotes the use of mindfulness techniques 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.

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