Massachusetts Medical school – Jon Kabat Zinn - 1979 • He removed the Buddhist framework and eventually downplayed any connection between mindfulness and Buddhism, instead putting MBSR in a scientific context……..His secular technique, which combines meditation and Hatha yoga, has since spread worldwide. The course claims to help patients cope with stress, pain, and illness by using what is called "moment-to-moment awareness.“ • Mindfulness has come to be seen as a mode of being, rather than a formal meditation practice, which can be practiced and maintained outside a formal setting.
