The Cousins Center together with the Mindful Awareness Research Center (Cousins-MARC), investigates the interactions between the mind, brain, and body in health. The shared mission of the Cousins-MARC is to understand the role of psychological well-being for health and recovery from illness, and the translation of such knowledge into effective mind-body practices (e.g., mindful awareness, meditation, tai chi), which prevent disease and promote healing. Through its community and global educational platforms, Cousins-MARC serves to foster mindful awareness across a person’s lifespan, , to promote well-being and a more compassionate society.
