abstract="This article presents the beginning mindfulness experiences of low income, minority women with a history of intimate partner violence. Ten women participated in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction group, three interviews and a focus group over 15 months. Using an interpretive phenomenological analysis approach, we derived the following themes: struggles to practice meditation; a vision of growing and helping; personal improvements, and interpersonal improvements. We share recommendations for clinical practice.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
