Handbook of Mindfulness

"While we have learned a great deal about mindfulness in the past 30 years, unquestionably the field of mindfulness science is still maturing, and in the chapters herein the authors have taken pains to point out how the current research is limited in its methods and conclusions, and have pointed to specific ways in which future research studies can overcome these limitations. That said, the work represented in this Handbook is among the best conducted to date, measured in terms of scientific creativity, sophistication, and insight. Our hope is that this volume offers readers both a panoramic view of the current science of mindfulness and a compass to help guide its ongoing evolution"--

Astronomical Mindfulness

Autor: Christopher G. De Pree , Sarah Scoles

Número de Páginas: 180

Using the power of the sun, moon, stars, and planets, this unique, illustrated guide is filled with engaging exercises that deepen your knowledge of the solar system, help you take necessary pauses every day, and foster a renewed sense of presence in the universe. Thousands of years ago, when we humans lived together in communal caves, we told stories about the stars. When we later took to the seas, we used stellar positions to navigate and pinpoint our place in the world. When we eventually stopped migrating and settled on land, we relied on the constellations and the Sun to plant and sustain crops. Yet today, we modern humans have lost this deep connection to the cosmos that was once central to our daily lives. Astronomical Mindfulness helps us reconnect to the solar system once more, guiding us through the fundamental ways in which our planet moves through the solar system and how these motions determine our perception of time and place. Offering a concise yet in-depth look at the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars, it teaches us to observe and understand the elements comprising the celestial sphere—deepening our lives and helping us become more informed, engaged, and...

Autor: Gary Anderson

Número de Páginas: 210

Master's Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Guidebooks - Self-help and Psychology, , course: Masters of Counselling Psychology, language: English, abstract: The construct of mindfulness has become a very strong influence in current changes to interventions in the area of stress reduction, depression relapse and is now seen as relevant to addiction relapse prevention. This paper explores some of the background materials pertinent to the construct and inclusion of mindfulness in treatment. Models of addiction and addiction relapse prevention are then explored leading to the current dynamic modelling. Finally the model of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention, which has been proposed by a number of authors, is explored. A proposed manual to integrate the previous work in relapse prevention while supporting it with a current model of mindfulness, will give shape to this emerging reality building on existing relapse prevention programs and mindfulness-based therapy.

The Neuroscience of Mindfulness

Autor: Stan Rodski

Número de Páginas: 127

Explore the benefits of a mindful approach to life Cutting-edge studies in neuroscience have in recent years proved what many doctors, therapists and other health professionals had long suspected: simple, repetitive tasks, performed with focus and attention - mindfulness, in other words - can not only quieten our noisy thought processes and help us relax but also improve our outlook on life and protect us against a range of life-threatening illnesses. A cognitive neuroscientist and a leading authority on mental performance, Stan Rodski sets out the science behind these remarkable discoveries in simple terms, and explains how you in turn can benefit from them. As well as examining the potentially pivotal role of mindfulness in alleviating stress and managing energy, Stan highlights the most effective mindfulness activities, guides you through quick and easy exercises, and shows you how to harness the power of mindfulness over the long term to forge mental and physical resilience - and create a happier, healthier, more compelling future.

This book lays a strong foundation on the basics of mindfulness and meditation by detailing constructive insights in the form of examples, exercises and facts. It also focuses on raising the inner peace, enjoying spirituality and attaining inner peace with the help of mindfulness meditation. By meditating mindfully, you are becoming aware and that is the key to inner peace and realizing your true potential.

Poise, Awareness, Breathing. A Brief Guide to a Simple and Effective Mindfulness Training

Autor: Andreas Langosch

Número de Páginas: 34

Document from the year 2022 in the subject Social Studies (General), , language: English, abstract: The mindfulness training "Poise, Awareness, Breathing" is a means to counteract the habit of avoiding the conscious experience of the present moment. Moreover, it can help us to recognize what we embody here and now, and how we embody it. It can be done standing, sitting, walking, and lying down, and consists of consciously connecting with the resources of poise, awareness, and breathing. The mindfulness training "Poise, Awareness, Breathing" is thus a basic component of resource-oriented work. The mindfulness training "Poise, Awareness, Breathing" was developed within the framework of Resource-Oriented Interviewing, a special form of resource-oriented talking.

Effects of Trait-Mindfulness on the Stress-induced Shift from Goal-directed Actions towards Habits

Autor: Gerrit Karpowski

Número de Páginas: 42

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Psychology - Cognition, grade: 1,3, University of Hamburg (Kognitionspsychologie), language: English, abstract: Individuals differ in their tendency to shift towards habitual behavior after stress. Mindfulness is an individual characteristic that does not only influence the stress response, but also cognitive processes. Therefore, effects of trait-mindfulness on the balance between goal-directed and habitual behavior after a stress induction were investigated. During this study, forty-seven healthy male and female participants mainly without meditation experience, were exposed to either a laboratory acute stress induction or a control procedure before they performed in a two-staged instrumental learning paradigm and completed a mindfulness questionnaire. Participants learned the acquired discriminations and a congruence effect, as predicted, was found. Moreover, explicit knowledge was highly indicative of level of goal-directedness. The stress manipulation was successful. Stressed individuals did not shift more towards habits. Mindfulness did not predict the level of goal-directedness, neither did it affect stress responses.

Le colloque "Humanisme et Mindfulness" dont ce livre rend compte est l'aboutissement d'une recherche pour le bien de notre monde et de ses habitants. Il s'inscrit dans la suite des rencontres "Ecologie et Spiritualité" et "Economie et Spiritualité" qui l'ont précédé. Il est apparu au fil de ces colloques que les questions d'ordre écologique et économique ont leur origine et leur solution dans nos esprits et nos comportements, elles sont fondamentalement produites par notre mentalité humaine et notre relation à notre monde. Aussi est-ce dans la transformation de nos habitudes et de notre mentalité, de notre relation au monde et à nous-mêmes, que nous pouvons espérer transformer les réalités économiques et écologiques. Cette transformation intérieure et relationnelle est ce que nous entendons par "humanisme global" ou "humanisme intégral", qui est somme toute un "humanisme naturel". L'expérience pleine de l'instant présent se découvre dans une pratique, l'entraînement à la pleine présence, que l'on nomme mindfulness en anglais. Aujourd'hui, des recherches scientifiques ont démontré l'utilité de l'esprit méditatif généré par ces pratiques pour...

"Intention is fundamental to any project, endeavor, or journey. Related to intention is the concept of mindfulness--the awareness that arises through intentionally attending to oneself and others in an open, accepting, and discerning way.

Their book integrates the art and science of mindfulness to inspire greater well-being in both clinicians and their patients. As such, mindfulness is understood as a universal human capacity that can help bridge the gap between therapist and patient, reminding us that we are all human beings aspiring to greater health, happiness, and freedom from suffering"--Publisher description.
