MBWARE means:
Mindfulness-Based
Warrior Resilience
Why Warrior?
Warrior traditions generally have a few things in common. Warriors are prepared to step into harms way, putting their own comfort and safety aside, in order to help others in crisis or to protect the well-being and peace of others or their nations.
Therefore the warrior always makes sure he or she is prepared for the challenge at hand, physically, mentally, and equipped with the appropriate resources. They train to sustain physical and mental fitness, agility and presence during challenging engagements. And they make sure to clean their sword after engagement, taking adequate time and measures to physically and mentally de-compress and recover, in order to be ready and strong for the next challenge.
