Western society is on the front side of a major renewal in prioritizing and finding value in contemplative practice. For example, we see mindfulness, meditation, and yoga showing up everywhere—mindfulness at technology conferences, meditation in public schools, and even yoga in prisons. Do a quick internet search and you’ll see articles about contemplative practice showing up throughout popular media. What the rest of the world is discovering is that mindfulness connects us with our head, meditation opens our hearts, and yoga reconnects us with our bodies.
