Introducing Mindfulness | Part 1 Of 3 | Paying Attention With Curiosity And Care

Von Patrick Kozakiewicz

Was du lernen wirst

The Introducing Mindfulness course is built on the framework of the original Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) program. It is for use in everyday settings, offering a taste of 3 key MBCT themes and practices, and exploring how these can support us personally and more broadly in our life/work context. Part 1 focuses on the what and how of attention. “Attention is one of my most important resources, but I’ve never valued it before.” (Shannon Harvey from her film “My Year of Living Mindfully”). You can expect to learn: - Learn what mindfulness is and isn’t through an analogy of attention - Explore how we can train our attention to support us in everyday life - Try some short mindfulness practices (research-based) to train our attention and enhance our awareness

Lektion 1

Attention As A Gateway To Experience

Exploring the what and the how of attention, the theme for today, as well as, the working definition of mindfulness we will be using throughout this course and the analogy of the flashlight of our attention.

Lektion 2

Body Scan

We will briefly scan the body, including practicing with the filters and lenses or the attitudes of mindfulness = curiosity and care. We will do this to train our attention, to notice the mind wandering, and to become more aware of our attention and I guess our bodies too.

Lektion 3

Anchoring Attention

Here we are going to be learning and exploring how we can train our attention on the go. How we can practice placing our attention on something that is in the present moment such as the feet, the seat, the hands, sound or the breath. Using an anchor to keep our attention in the present moment.

Lektion 4

Negativity And Appreciation

In this lesson, we will learn how most of our attention may be going to negativity. And we will work to counter-balance that with more awareness of this mechanism in addition to practice around appreciation.

Lektion 5

Summary And Home Practice

Here we will summarize the lessons from Part 1 of Introducing Mindfulness and share what you may wish to explore as part of your home practice. This will be through some short and practical ways one can integrate mindfulness into every day.
