Meditation shows us our habitual patterns of mind; how we typically relate to the world. If we find the practice boring, our tendency may be to blame the experience—to think it’s our breath, body sensations, or thoughts that are boring. Yet, if we observe what’s happening carefully, we see that we’re actually relating to it in a bored way: We label meditation uninteresting, and we identify with the desire to get away from it....
And how can mindfulness help? Ring’s research group has been studying how the positive impacts of mindfulness meditation could improve doctor and nurse decision-making and quality of care—two key elements in improving patient safety.
