Is mindfulness a helpful practice and should a Catholic participate in it? In this video, Dan Burke compares mindfulness to Catholic mystical tradition and reveals the best way for Catholics to understand this practice and the path they should take as they seek to deepen their faith and be more present to God and those whom He has placed in their care.

It is important to note that this video is not intended to summarize or teach mindfulness to the satisfaction of those who embrace the practice or related beliefs. Instead, our intent is to examine the general idea of wisdom from outside of Catholic mystical tradition to that of wisdom emanating from within.
