Operationalising equanimity in clinical practice: A mindful approach

Abstract

This short commentary refines the therapeutic aspect of mindfulness-based interventions relevant to clinical psychologists. The paper highlights the potential fusion between equanimity and contemporary mindfulness practice. ‘Mindfulness has a universal nature. You can find it in every spiritual tradition. If you study deeply the life of a sage from any tradition, you will find a quality of mindfulness in his or her life. A sage is capable of living every moment of his or her life deeply and of touching the beauty and truth in each moment of life.’ (Ticht Nhat Hanh, 2008, p.46)
