Abstract

Mindfulness is defined as ‘awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally' (Kabat-Zinn, 2013). Mindfulness-based interventions are common in the field of health because they can have a key role in decreasing the level of stress and anxiety. Education has become more competitive in the new world, and teachers and learners can sometimes experience challenges adapting to this new academic world. Mindfulness can be one of the ways to enhance the resilience that the students and teachers experience. The current chapter explores mindfulness and its origins, its relation to science, mindfulness attitudes, academic resilience in students, and the relationship between mindfulness and stress. Then, the chapter offers several mindful practices for both adults and young learners. Finally, it suggests some digital tools for mindful practices
