The Mindful Heart Approach

What can you expect to find by following The Mindful Heart approach? 


The Mindful heart guides families in cultivating mindful hearts by approaching education with a heart-based focus. 


So what does a heart-based education look like?


A heart-based education  

  • focuses less on memorized facts and more on having a deep and personal understanding of the information.
  • teaches not what to think but how to think. 
  • invites discovering the arts, exploring nature, and learning through good literature, experiences, games, and hands-on activities.   
  • encourages love and appreciation for Jesus Christ and His gospel. 
  • is never forced.
  • is individually-paced, line-upon-line learning.
  • promotes an atmosphere that develops and nurtures a love of learning.
  • develops the whole person—heart, mind, body, and spirit.
  • is one which leaves the individual inspired to bless the lives of others. 
  • guides families in learning how to learn. 

David A. Bednar described perfectly this last goal of a heart-based education. He said, “When I was younger, I thought education meant going to school, taking tests, and getting good grades. But as I grew older, I began to learn the difference between doing well in school and becoming educated. A person can do well on tests and still not be educated. True education is learning how to learn. Once I discovered that lesson, learning became fun.”


The Mindful Heart Team is working tirelessly on developing resources to guide families in cultivating a heart-based learning atmosphere in the home. Watch for future announcements about our products.
