The word “mindful” has become a buzzword to describe a desirable state of mind, but have we really considered its meanings, how it is practiced, and why it may be important in our lives? Mindfulness can be exercised in any moment, but can also be intensified in a meditation practice. In this workshop, we will examine the essentials of mindfulness, the basics of meditation, and its role in supporting an engaged life.
In this workshop you will:
- Discuss the origins, meaning and implications mindfulness
- Learn about mental qualities that contribute towards mindfulness
- Practice basic meditation techniques to develop qualities of steadiness and clarity
- Understand the role of, and relationship to, the breath in meditation
- Discuss techniques to encourage mindfulness in daily life
