What does it really mean to teach mindfulness with integrity, compassion, and care?In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I sit down with Professor Rebecca Crane — a true pioneer in the field of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and director of the Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University. Together, we explore the heart of MBCT: where it came from, what makes it distinctive, and how it continues to evolve in response to the complex challenges of our times.From the subtle art of teacher embodiment, to supporting inclusivity and social justice in mindfulness spaces, Rebecca offers profound insights into how mindfulness can transform both individuals and systems — including our approach to mental health, equity, and even the climate crisis.Whether you’re a seasoned mindfulness teacher or simply curious about how these practices can foster personal and collective well-being, this conversation is full of wisdom, warmth, and hope.Books by Rebecca Crane:Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: Distinctive Features (2nd ed): https://www.routledge.com/Mindfulness-Based-Cognitive-Therapy-Distinctive-Features/Crane/p/book/9781138671035Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy with People at Risk of Suicide: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/mindfulness-based-cognitive-therapy-with-people-at-risk-of-suicide-9780199558672Essential Resources for Mindfulness Teachers: https://www.routledge.com/Essential-Resources-for-Mindfulness-Teachers/Crane-Karunavira-Griffith/p/book/9780367363214Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice at Bangor University: https://www.bangor.ac.uk/mindfulnessTimestamps:00:00 Introduction to Mindfulness and Guest Speaker01:41 Exploring Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)10:04 The Role of Compassion in Mindfulness15:05 Embodiment and Teaching Mindfulness25:03 Challenges and Adaptations in Mindfulness Training38:51 Inclusivity and Systemic Issues in Mindfulness43:54 Mindfulness in Addressing Global Challenges53:13 Conclusion and Future DirectionsIf you would like to learn more about compassion focused therapy, you can find Dr Stan Steindl's book The Gifts of Compassion here: https://www.ausapress.com/p/the-gifts-of-compassion-how-to-understand-and-overcome-suffering/Say hi on social: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstansteindl Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/StanSteindl Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_stan_steindl/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-steindl-150a5264/ Website: https://www.stansteindl.com/ YouTube Video URL: https://youtu.be/UEpnRXdVaNs*Affiliate Disclaimer: Note this description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.
