This book explores how mindfulness has been infused into education
to produce favorable outcomes, such as stress reduction, heightened
focus, resilience, calmness, alertness, mood regulation,
self-awareness, professional commitment, and increased compassion
and kindness to self and others. The chapters are situated in
diverse contexts, including schools and colleges, warfare, violent
extremism, global warming, child sex abuse, and species extinction.
A feature of the book is the use of what is learned from ongoing
research to design interventions to increase the incidence of
mindful practices, to enhance learning and forms of conduct to
transform social life and sustain harmonious lifestyles. Inclusion
of mindfulness-based interventions in teacher education programs
include breathing meditation and tools such as heuristics and
mindful writing. Breathing meditation and its relationship to
mindfulness is addressed, including abdominal breathing as a
component of meditation, leading to mindful conduct and
physiological changes, including heart rate and blood oxygenation
levels. The extent to which breathing practice includes nasal and
oral inhalation and exhalation is also considered in relation to
increasing levels of nitric oxide in the airways, thereby enhancing
social communication and wellness. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Learning: Research and Practice.
