Summary
Increasingly, elements of mindfulness, originating from a Buddhist view, are being
incorporated in psychotherapeutic practice and research. Broadening the context of
understanding within which these mindfulness practices are currently held will bolster the practice of mindfulness for the client and therapist both within and outside of the therapeutic
setting. Psychotherapy provides a safe container for realization of the innate health
within each individual (Buddha Nature) through the practice of the Four Postures informed
by the Trikaya. This realization illuminates our potential to live a satisfying life by waking
up to the mechanics of the mind in both distress and healing.
