22SPR11 Introduction to Mindfulness

22SPR11 Introduction to Mindfulness

While mindfulness does not claim to be a cure for anything, a growing amount of research indicates its effectiveness in:

·  Getting a better night’s sleep

·  Reducing worry and feelings of anxiety

·  Improving tolerance of chronic pain

·  Lifting mood and appreciating what is good in life

·  Managing interpersonal conflict more effectively

·  Enhancing feelings of self-worth and compassion for others

This standalone session is intended to introduce participants to the practice of mindfulness so that they can establish a regular personal practice. It includes the following elements:

·  What is mindfulness?

·  What are the benefits and how can mindfulness help at a time like this? 

·  Some neuroscience and scientific evidence of its benefits

·  Outline of the different types of practices

·  Explanation of the process of meditation practice

·  A guided practice

·  Resources for further practice

·  Comments and questions

The facilitator is Joanne Murphy, a primary school teacher. She has completed a two-year Masters in Mindfulness in UCD and has completed many other trainings in mindfulness, including training with the Mindfulness in Schools Project (both Paws b and .be) and the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute.
