Mindfulness is the next great thing — that has been developing for thousands of years. Unless you have been living under a rock, you have at least heard about Mindfulness, if not read an article about it, or, participated in Mindfulness instruction and practices.
Since this is such an interesting and vibrant area, I am providing links to websites and blogs related to Mindfulness. The list will be updated periodically. To view updates in the future, go to the Table of Contents, on the right, and access this Mindfulness article – you will be brought back to this page. The latest sites will be on the top of the list. Remember, anything that is highlighted, italicized, or generally looks different from the standard text, will probably take you to a source if you scroll over it and click it. Alternatively, you can go to the Mindfulness Links on the right for all the links in alphabetical order.
