Mindfulness Training Course

Description

Here at the training academy of Renaissance Life Therapies, we have created a truly unique mindfulness course.

Our mindfulness course will enable you to experience and enjoy, how it feels to live in the present moment. You will learn how to live with a clarity of mind, that is free from all distractions.

Mindfulness training and Mindfulness training exercises, are a set of techniques and methods, that can be used in order to develop a greater sense of self awareness.

The present moment is how we live our lives, it’s living here, and it’s living now. In order to keep our awareness of the present, we must have an understanding of ourself. We must be self aware. In short, Mindfulness training, is simply, training to be mindful.

Mindfulness training frees us from distractions of the past, as well as freeing us from distractions, concerning the future.

Included in the course, are a number of different meditation techniques, including ‘Body Scan’ and ‘Sitting Meditation’. You’ll also find many mindfulness training exercises, all designed in helping you realise, an awareness of the present. In fact, this mindfulness course has everything you need to strengthen and retrain your mind for a healthier, happier life.

Mindfulness training enables both concentrative attention, along with a broader, (open space), style awareness.

Regular mindfulness training will also help increase a person’s ability to focus. With practise, you will be able to be with whatever thoughts, may come into your awareness, without judgement.

This mindfulness course contains exercises created to help students, keep their awareness of the present. It is all too easy to fall into an unconscious state, but with mindfulness training, you will learn specific techniques, designed to quickly bring you back to a state of conscious awareness.

Effective mindfulness training will change your life.

These mindfulness training methods have been carefully created so that you can integrate them into your life, naturally and with ease. Remember, some of the mindfulness exercises, can be mastered in just sixty seconds.

This course offers a number of downloadable resources (including practise logs, mindfulness training exercises and audio mp3’s), in fact, everything you could ever need to master the discipline of mindfulness.

SECTION 1. – Introduction to Mindfulness Training

We start by learning the basics of Mindfulness. and understanding ways in which it can change our life.

This first section includes training in mindfulness meditation. As well as a fully guided audio, we learn how to explore our experience of the meditation by using the bespoke meditation diary.

Section one also introduces us to mindfulness breathing. This includes a fully guided mediation, that focuses on our breathing. We also learn how to use the mindfulness breathing meditation diary. This diary is also designed to record our experience of the meditation, encouraging us to explore our thoughts and physical sensations.

SECTION 2.- Body Scan

Mindfulness training includes a number of meditations. In section two, we will learn how to bring mindfulness awareness to your experience of the body scan meditation.

We’ll also demonstrate how you can introduce mindfulness training into your daily routine, and start to get maximum benefits, right away. This is learning how to experience the joys of simple awareness. Simple awarenss teaches us how we can appreciate everyday experiences in a more mindful way. By doing so, we quickly learn the joys of these simple events, which in turn, help make us happier, healthier people.

SECTION 3. - Sitting Meditation

In this section we start with mastering the sitting meditation. In the sitting meditation, we learn by way of guided audio, how to concentrate on our breathing as the key object for awareness. We learn to experience how it feels to live in the moment, without judgement.

We then move on to the mindfulness RAIN diary. RAIN stands for, recognise, allowing, investigating and natural awareness.

Going through these stages, we learn to let go of preconceived thoughts, and instead listen in a kind, receptive way to our body, calling on our natural curiosity as we focus inward.

We finish this section by looking at some examples of RAIN diary entries, and see how gentle investigation, can easily open a natural awareness.

SECTION 4. – Mindfulness Training Exercises

In this section we have lots of different Mindfulness exercises for you to try. Some are concerned with Mindfulness therapy and some are designed to develop your awareness, helping you to be in, and with, the present moment. There are lots of tips, techniques and methods that you can employ, in order to:

• Strengthen your self awareness
• Strengthen your ability to focus your attention on the present
• Bring you out of a state of unconsciousness and back to a mindful state

Exercises include, one minute mindfulness, ten second count, mindfulness trigger exercise and the conscious observation exercise.

We finish this section off by learning to use the pleasant events diary. By having an awareness of simple everyday events, we learn to gain joy from such things as the warmth of the sun, smelling flowers, or even experiencing a smile from another person.

SECTION 5. – Practising Silent Meditation and STOP

This section is designed to help you progress from guided meditation, onto silent, mindful meditation. We've included two audio tracks which are silent, all but for the sound of a gentle bell.

The bell will sound at the beginning of the audio and sound again at the end. This will be either 15 minutes or 30 minutes, depending on the track you have chosen.

The gentle sound of the bell is designed to help build confidence as you learn to pace yourself unguided.

This section also covers the STOP diary. The STOP diary is concerned with learning to stop, to take a breath, to be open, to observe, and finally to proceed.

With the help examples, we use this diary as an exercise to help us in becoming more aware of our personal environment. By practising to stop and observe what is going on for us, we can learn to react positively to situations, bringing us a natural harmony and a more peaceful life.

SECTION 6. – Mindfulness Training for Emotional and Physical Pain

In this section we have a look at how, with Mindfulness training, we can react differently to emotional and physical pain.

Mindfulness enables us to separate the physical sensations of pain, from the emotional suffering of pain. This can be done by learning how to apply a mindful attitude towards pain.

This is a really powerful technique and with just a little practise, can bring great comfort and tremendous relief.

We then move onto using mindfulness, in order to address emotional pain.

Using the applied techniques, we learn to experience emotional discomfort with a sense of curiosity, rather than with negative judgement. We are encouraged to identify with ourself as the observer of the experience, rather than the experience itself.

This section concludes with the exercise of using the communication diary. This exercise explores our relationship, not only with ourself, but with others and the world.

SECTION 7. - Conclusion

In this concluding section, we look back at each section in turn, making sure we've understood the learning objective of each and ensuring we get the very most from this unique mindfulness course.
