Blogs looking at some of the science in psychology, biology and neuroscience around training the mind in mindfulness, compassion and insight, partly inspired by our work with our colleagues from University of the West of Scotland on the Masters Degree in (Teaching) Mindfulness and Compassion, and from the University of Aberdeen on the Masters Degree in Studies in Mindfulness, which are both run in partnership with the Mindfulness Association.
