Essential Resources for Mindfulness Teachers offers the reader a wealth of knowledge about the explicit and implicit aspects of mindfulness-based teaching. The book focuses on how to develop the craft of teaching mindfulness-based courses and is divided into three parts. Part I addresses the explicit elements of mindfulness-based courses, such as how to offer meditation practices and inquiry. Part II investigates the subtle but powerful implicit qualities needed within the teacher to convey the essence of mindfulness. Part III is a series of chapters on the underpinnings, considerations, and theories surrounding the teaching of mindfulness-based courses, and includes a new framework for reflective practice – the Mindfulness-Based Interventions: Teaching and Learning Companion (the TLC). The book is a core companion text for both trainees and established mindfulness-based teachers, and is a resource you will return to again and again.

'A veritable Rosetta Stone which reveals and deciphers a myriad of basic dimensions of embodied mindfulness instruction in mainstream settings that are key to effective and authentic teaching in mindfulness-based interventions of any kind.'Jon Kabat-Zinn, Professor Emeritus of Medicine'For the field of mindfulness to realise its potential, we need to take great care in training the next generation of mindfulness teachers. They need to develop clarity of intention, theoretical understanding, knowledge of the key research and proficiency as teachers. They need to consistently examine their embodiment and integrity and be open to a lifelong process of learning. This is not just a book. It is an extraordinary collection of resources developed over decades of training many hundreds of mindfulness teachers. It timely and will be widely welcomed. At one level it is a practical, well-structured, skilfully curated set of training resources. At another level it provides inspiration, a compass, as well as a road map for trainees at every stage of their learning. The authors are generously committing to writing what they know through their extensive training experience helps trainee mindfulness teachers.

I can easily see this being a contribution that will evolve through many editions in decades to come.'Willem Kuyken, Ritblat Professor of Mindfulness and Psychological Science, University of Oxford, UK 'This is an outstanding book. As mindfulness-based programs enter the sphere of evidence-based medicine, it is imperative that teacher training programs are consistent with the randomized controlled trials that built the evidence. This book is a rich guide that invites us to travel the high road in teacher training so that we skillfully serve learners, while fitting within healthcare delivery systems.'Eric Loucks, Associate Professor and Director, Mindfulness Center at Brown University, USA'Mindfulness-based programs ask much of teachers who, in turn, are poised to deliver much to program participants.

It should be required reading for anyone in our field.'Zindel Segal, Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada'This is a jewel of a book, reflecting the multi-faceted nature of teaching mindfulness in our present society, the explicit and implicit aspects of curriculum, and how to nourish ourselves as its teachers. It is the fruit of the experience of a worldwide network of experienced and committed trainers, to whom I am very grateful for this priceless resource. I can warmly recommend it to beginning and advanced teachers, and to teacher trainers. May it lead to even wider and tighter connections of mindfulness teachers and their students around the world!'Anne Speckens, Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Radboudumc Centre for Mindfulness, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
