I agree with Annie's poetic response. This reminds me of an article I read years ago by teacher, author and psychotherapist Miles Neale called "Frozen Yoga and McMindfulness". Before that, he had given a talk about McMindfulness and was very critical of the quick fix fast food attitude towards this new trend. A few years later he took back some of his overly critical comments and said that in the end it's good that it's reaching people. Of those many people there are hopefully enough who decide delve deeper. I also find the "trend" aspect sometimes frustrating (see social media), but I also see that it reaches young and old enough to make a change inside and out.
