Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy For Life (Part 1)

With Wei Wang

Hi, my dear mindfulness friends, happy to be with you on this journey. The course is the first part of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life - MBCT-L (sessions 1-3), teaching basic mindfulness skills and cognitive techniques. The 8-session MBCT-L program was developed in the light of research at the University of Oxford and other leading research centres. It teaches another way of living that responds to challenges with kindness and curiosity. And it also guides you in how to savour each moment and send generosity to others.

Lesson 1

Waking Up From Automatic Pilot

On automatic pilot, we just keep doing, doing, and doing. We are so easy to get caught in unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns that lead us to exhaustion and burnout. Mindfulness helps us pause and intentionally pay attention to the present moment with curiosity and kindness. In the first session, we learn how to pause and become aware of our present experience that we might normally overlook.

Lesson 2

Another Way Of Being, Keeping The Body In Mind

We have two modes: doing mode and being (sensing) mode. In driven-doing mode, we tend to know about our experience only conceptually. That's why we often get lost in our overthinking mind. Mindfulness teaches us how to relate to our experience more sensibly. In the second session, we explore the being mode by moving closer to our body, as well as decentreing our thoughts.

Lesson 3

Gathering The Scattered Mind

Our mind is often scattered, thinking of the past or worrying about the future. A scattered mind keeps us away from peace and joy as we become lost in the endless unhelpful thoughts. In the third session, we will learn how to directly reconnect with the presence using our body and anchor, gathering and settling the scattered mind.

I liked the hourglass practice of widening, focusing, widening my attention.
