Mindfulness & Meditation Course
ABOUT THIS COURSE
Since 2000, the number of scientific studies on mindfulness has increased significantly. As a result of these studies, valuable insights about both the effects of mindfulness and the underlying mechanisms have emerged. These studies have shown that the effects of mindfulness cannot be attributed simply to relaxation, but also to complex processes, like attention regulation, emotional coping, observation, and time perspective.
This training was developed to systematically increase mindfulness not only through mindfulness practice but also by considering the underlying mechanisms of mindfulness. For instance, in addition to practicing meditation, this training also answers questions like: “What happens when I meditate?”, “Why does meditation help reduce the effect of negative thoughts?”, “Why should I become aware of judgments I make?”. Understanding the underlying mechanisms makes it easier to apply mindfulness in a wide range of contexts and counteracts the misconception that mindfulness is a trick or technique rather than a way of being.
The combination of the practice and the psychology behind mindfulness has been proven very helpful for many people. This training program addresses different building blocks of mindfulness in each of the first 7 sessions and integrates these building blocks in session 8. After completing this training, participants have learned to integrate mindfulness into their daily lives and have gained a deep understanding of the essence of the construct itself.
There are no prerequisites for this course.
