What do well established mindfulness teachings/practices offer that are not widely available in areas of medication and psychotherapy?
Western Mindfulness offers five primary benefits.
1. A wide host of practical tools, methods, techniques and exercises to reduce stress in daily life, develop changes in view and transform self-image. The specific practices develop confidence to share experiences, apply ethical values, depths of meditation, clarity and insights into a full range of daily life situations.
2. Contact with like-minded in the short and long term. The teachings of mindfulness take place in small groups. This provides the opportunity to listen to the experience of others, learn from others and share experiences in a range of areas.
3. Many mindfulness teachers offer the practices in the spirit of leadership/friendship, often sharing their experiences. Many mindfulness teachers prefer this mode of being rather than speaking as a detached professional.
4. You can explore daily practices anywhere, so you do not have to sit every day at home or a weekly 1-1 meeting with your therapist, unless it is important for you. Mindfulness practices can take place on the bus to work, sitting at the kitchen table, office, park bench, in the pew in a cathedral. Practices include mindful walking, standing, reclining eating.
5. Trainee teachers of mindfulness learn the art of listening, speaking/public speaking, facilitating and taking quesions on mindfulness. Practices include outdoors/indoors and our engagement with the world.
Benefits of mindfulness practice for oneself and others can last until nature squeezes the last breath out of our body.
