AMRA Mission Statement

To support empirical and conceptual efforts to establish an evidence base for the process, practice, and construct of mindfulness; promote best standards for and ethical use of mindfulness research and applications; and facilitate mindfulness-related dialogue and discovery.

Purpose of AMRA

AMRA serves as a professional resource to the sciences and humanities, practice communities, and the broader public.

AMRA’s Definition of Mindfulness

The state, process, and practice of remembering to observe moment-to-moment experience with openness and without automatic patterns of previously conditioned thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. Mindfulness can be cultivated through mind-body practices (such as focused attention and open monitoring meditation as well as other intrapsychic and sensory-based practices) that are founded on a discerning mode of awareness that recognizes wholesome and unwholesome states of being.
