OPENMIND TRAINING® IN MINDFULNESS AND MIND-BODY PRACTICES
| TRAINING FOR CORPORATE & ORGANIZATIONAL GROUPS AND WORKSHOPS FOR HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONERS AND INDIVIDUALS |
"Learning to observe experience from a place of stillness enables one to relate to life without fear and clinging. One begins to accept pleasure and pain, fear and joy, and all aspects of life with increasing equanimity and balance. Life is seen as a constantly changing process." OpenMind Training provides instruction in meditation and Mind-Body healing from both a psychological and spiritual perspective. The focus is on the practice, experience and benefits of meditation and self-healing in daily life. Meditation helps to cultivate self-regulation through relaxation and the development of attention skills. Training in Mind-Body healing facilitates awareness of the inner resources of the Core Self—trust, comfort, time and curiosity—for the activation of the healthy and creative aspects of the unconscious mind. This promotes insight, wellness and individuation. Meditative techniques of the various Buddhist schools, particularly Tibetan and Zen as well as Advaita (Vedic-non dual) will be explored. These methods utilize mindfulness, insight, visualization and presence to activate physiological and psychological energies when merged can produce powerful states of mind to penetrate into the reality of our being and allow us to experience a spacious quality of freedom. Teachings on the practices and principles of Buddhist psychology and their applications for resolving afflictive factors of mind, mood and happiness will be taught. Participants will also be taught various forms of breathing, chanting, trance states, and Mind-Body healing exercises. This workshop can help participants acquire skills to calm the mind, regulate affect states, develop trust with the unconscious, and explore inner healing resources. The workshop is designed for anyone from beginning to advance levels.
