Mindfulness as Resistance
Southwestern Law Review
(2019)
Abstract
This essay presents “mindfulness as resistance,” a perspective that attempts to counter some common misunderstandings inadvertently fostered by its popularity. The mindfulness as resistance framing creates a juxtaposition between the formulaic definition of mindfulness meditation and the concept of “resistance,” which prompts different questions or poses old questions in new ways. I hope this interpretation will be useful to people who are interested in mindfulness or beginning a practice by garnering more attention for a fuller hearing of what mindfulness is, and to long-time practitioners by promoting reflection.
