Abstract
Providing guidance is one of the key pedagogical skills and actions of the teacher in the Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs), along with stewardship, homiletics, and inquiry. These skills are interrelated and each includes and influences the others. Guided meditation, both “live” in class and through recordings, plays a crucial role in the cultivation of mindfulness, a way of being in the world in relationship to self, to others, and to the flow of experience moment by moment.
