Mindfulness for Beginners Part 1: Attention & Awareness
Meditation should feel rewarding and fulfilling, and not enforced, and I hope this series helps you access this life-changing ability to tap into the wisdom and stillness that you have inside. And if you believe that you can’t meditate - then ask yourself - “do I ever get completely absorbed in a good book, movie, sport or puzzle? If so - then yes, you are already a master of single pointed concentration!
Welcome to this 4-part Mindfulness for Beginners series. Each part is 60-minutes long and I highly recommend that you do one session a week and apply the meditation practice each day - ideally for 20-minutes, but start with what you CAN do.
In today’s video Part 1 - we cover the foundations of mindfulness meditation; what is mindfulness and how it can benefit us.
Join the group as we practice and review mindfulness meditation techniques - using the breath as our object of concentration.
Explore the difference between Attention and Awareness - using awareness as a watchful "motion-sensor" to call your mind back from distraction, and using "rewards" to reinforce and strengthen single-pointed concentration as you start to enjoy the peaceful cessation of the minds' chatter.
p.s. at the bottom of each of these videos, you will find a link to take you to the next session.
