God and Mindfulness

Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss the mindfulness
phenomenon, which although partly a therapeutic movement seems
akin to a spiritual revival as well. So what does the interest in
mindfulness say about our times, how does it relate to past
movements such as transcendental meditation, what can Christians
and other theists make of mindfulness, and might it be a sign of
a renewal in the quest for God - or even, God's quest for us?
