Abstract: In this article, we describe the development and implementation of contemplative pedagogy in human services education. Our focus is on mindfulness and related practices as a key contemplative pedagogical approach for human services education. We propose several methods of inclusion of mindfulness that begin with small integrations of this pedagogy and ends with a thoroughly integrated approach. To illustrate, we offer an example of how the human services educator can incorporate mindfulness into a basic helping skills course. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
