We have had numerous questions about the use of mindfulness meditation techniques by Catholics and I came across an excellent video on this subject by EWTN’s Dan Burke.

Burke, the Executive Director of the National Catholic Register and president of the Avila Foundation posted a video on SpiritualDirection.com in which he compares mindfulness to the Catholic mystical tradition and reveals the best way for Catholics to understand this practice. His presentation is clear, concise, understandable, and good advice to Catholics who are wondering whether or not to become involved in mindfulness meditation practices.
