Sitting down.

The object of your mindfulness can be anything. “Breathing in, I’m aware of the ______.” “Breathing in, I’m aware of the ______.” Beginning and ending Gaze

Just one word

Jon Kabat-Zinn

Let’s find out.

Our true home is the present moment. Real life can only be found and touched in the here and now. This is because the present moment is the only moment we can actually experience and influence. The past is over and the future has not yet arrived. Since the present moment is the only real moment for us, we can always return here to get in touch with the wonders of life. Thich Nat Hanh (2008, pg.12)

What did you experience?

Cultivating and resting more in the ‘heart’ qualities of mindfulness – kindness and compassion – will comfort and steady you. And, discovering your inner resources for safety, silence, and stillness will empower you to deal with the most disturbing experiences.” (Brantley, J., & Kabat-Zinn, J. (2007, pg. 201).

Being aware of is not the same as getting rid of Awareness of feelings and thoughts creates choice and empowers

Cultivating full presence during a session Making room for disturbing content Taking a break between clients Centering after a tough session Daily practice for well-being Avoid burn-out
