Mindfulness, as taught through the 16 Guidelines, goes far beyond breath awareness and works on the levels of right vision and right action that complement right awareness. In secular terms, mindfulness is brought off the cushion and into everyday life through honing intention and practicing values to deep the way we Think, Act, Relate and Find Meaning.
16 Guidelines courses typically happen 2 times in the GTA and once in Ottawa per year. Please check the Centre for Compassion and Wisdom website for 16G courses in the GTA.
