Abstract
This paper is in part a reflection on the personal illness which led the author to discover mindfulness and compassion training that supported and helped the author in her rehabilitation after having suffered a cardiac arrest. It explores the origins of mindfulness training and how a more explicit teaching of compassion skills has been found to be highly beneficial in the health and wellbeing, not just for oneself but also the others who undertake the training.
