| Overview: | Mindfulness is the mental activity of paying attention on purpose to whatever is present in the moment. The mental effort of shifting attention to present moment experience has tremendous benefit. Mindfulness is often associated with meditation practice. While sitting, lying down or walking meditation is a fundamental practice leading to mindfulness, daily activity can also be met with greater awareness. This webinar focuses on how mindfulness is expanded to include skillful activity in the areas of basic self-care, regulating emotions, cultivating positive mental states, communicating with others, and developing meaningful activity. It draws heavily from the work of The Minnesota Alternative Model developed by Paula De Santo. |
