There seems to have been a huge surge lately in the practice of secular Mindfulness, not only in a medical context as part of treatment for mental health illness (that's how I first discovered it), but in schools, work places and even the Houses of Parliament. I listened to this Beyond Belief podcast today, which I thought a well-rounded discussion about the religious origins of Mindfulness, the parallels and differences, how it compares with meditation, and the various uses and effects it can have.
