Meditation has become increasingly mainstream, with meditation apps, classes, and online resources making the practice available to anyone with interest. The secularisation of meditation, separating it from its Buddhist origins, has made it acceptable across diverse populations. Scientific research supporting the benefits of meditation has further encouraged adoption.
Mindfulness in the workplace has grown, with many organisations introducing programs to support employee wellbeing and performance. Workplace mindfulness training often focuses on stress reduction, attention, and emotional regulation. The adaptation of mindfulness for organisational settings has required attention to practical relevance and compatibility with workplace culture.
