They discuss the inherent problem of the contemporary workplace: the pain and suffering; physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally, due to myriad reasons, such as incivility, mismanagement of change, unhealthy competition and the consequential breakdown of relationships, leading to a weakening of the socio-biological immune-system. The paper then attempts to prove that mindfulness practice opens the possibilities for healing by cultivating humane qualities such as compassion, kindness, and the promotion of physio-psychological well-being. Thereby, argues that mindfulness practice improves cognitive functions, collective inquiry by unearthing one’s internal picture of the world, and ushering a new level of consciousness, which may pave a pathway toward creating a learning organization.

This progression proceeds from formless, spaceless, timeless indiscriminate worldview to perspectival worldview (multi-dimensional), to aperspectival worldview (integral) in which we begin to look at the world in integral wholeness (1985, p. 36-102). This progression of consciousness is conceived in successive stages (Gebser, 1985; Wilber, 2000; Laloux, 2014). However, Gebser believed, organization can experience the presence of multi-stage of consciousness simultaneously. One department may be in ‘Mental’ (follow predict and control approach), whereas, others may run seemingly closer to “Integral” (sense and respond approach) (Gebser, 1985; Laloux, 2014). In closer look, such drastic difference is intrinsically driven by an individual’s level of consciousness who is heading the department or organization. This level of consciousness of an individual strongly determines their relationship toward each other. Therefore, an individual's consciousness level reshapes their work engagement, their interaction with others at the workplace. According to Frederic Laloux (2014), each stage of consciousness gives birth to a new model of management which is much superior to the former. Arie De Geus (1999), Ken Wilber (2000), Frederic
