N2  - This article explores an alternative philosophical route to contemporary mindfulness practice. Through a consideration of Hellenistic philosophy, the article argues that a Western cultural heritage has much to offer the current mindfulness milieu, which largely depends upon a singular model of secularized Buddhism. This latter approach can limit the therapeutic potential of mindfulness as an embodied practice for living. Through embracing a more complex understanding of present-moment awareness - one that is underpinned by Hellenistic philosophical practice - we encounter valuable seeds for self-transformation.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
