About the presentation
The practice
of being mindful is rapidly changing the way we lead our
lives as individuals and as a society. As therapists,
integrating mindfulness practices into daily life can become
one of the best lifestyle changes to steady the ship of our
own health and emotions, but where do we start? Mindfulness
was never a part of our graduate school training, and cannot
be self-taught or learned simply by traditional didactic
methods. We need to EXPERIENCE the many forms of mindful
awareness ourselves before we can make the jump to bringing
mindfulness practices into the clinical setting with those
we treat in psychotherapy. Come and start the journey with
this two-session introductory workshop, and hopefully leave
with a better sense of where mindfulness can take both you
and your patients.
Participants should bring a yoga mat and a
pillow.
Participants Will Be Able To:
- Explain the scientific and physiological foundations
of mindfulness practice.
- Describe the non-conceptual nature of “being mind” and
“present moment” awareness.
- Define the essential elements of mindfulness work in
developing a personal practice.
- Write a script to introduce mindfulness practice as a
therapist/patient/collaboration.
- Develop strategies for managing and overcoming the
resistance of “beginner’s mind.”
- Participate in a variety of live mindfulness
meditation practices such as an eating meditation, a
breathing meditation, a walking meditation, a body scan
meditation and a loving kindness meditation.
- Access a library of online and other professional
training resources for starting or deepening daily
mindfulness practice.
- Plan and implement a daily meditation practice that
fits into his/her own unique lifestyle.
