Meditation and Mindfulness

We argue that a denatured mindfulness divorced from

its soteriological context reduces it to a self-help technique that is easily misappropriated for reproducing corporate and

institutional power, employee pacification, and maintenance of toxic organizational cultures.

When we’re mindful of what we feel in our body, she says, our mind naturally settles in the present. This happens without effort—and it makes us calmer, more receptive, and better attuned to the “boundless, indefinable, ungraspable” nature of awareness.
