When I was six my dad took me to see a movie.
![Page 4: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

That movie sparked my interest in technology.

Another reason I love the movie is that it teaches the viewer
that external technology can be
dangerous if we do not balance it with inner
technology.

This is a presentation aboutdeveloping inner
technology through mindfulness-based stress
reduction.

before we move further...
![Page 10: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I am not trying to promote or diminish any religious or
spiritual beliefs.
![Page 11: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is based, in
part, by meditation techniques with roots in a variety of
religious and spiritual traditions, but let me be clear...
![Page 12: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MBSR is a SECULAR approach to controlling the
mind.

this is your mind on past and future thought
![Page 16: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
this is mindfulness

mindfulness is non-judgemental awareness of the present
moment
![Page 19: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Why do we need MBSR in our schools?
![Page 20: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The suicide rate for 15-24 year-0lds has tripled since 1960. It is now the third leading cause of
death among teens.

My question is....
![Page 29: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What are schools doing about this?
![Page 30: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Many students are stressed out...
![Page 31: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
so are many teachers.
![Page 32: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How many of you were stressed out last year?
![Page 33: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What can we do to reduce stress and improve the mental
health of our students and teachers?
![Page 34: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
I believe mindfulness-based stress reduction is part of the
answer.

Does your mind control you or do you control your mind?

A stressed-out teacher cannot perform optimally and risks transferring that stress to
his/her students.

So can we give it a try?
![Page 40: Developing inner technology. welcome When I was six my dad took me to see a movie](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649dcf5503460f94ac49b4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1. Sit comfortably and keep your back straight.2. Breath in and out focusing on your breath.3. As thoughts from earlier or later in the day enter your mind, recognize that a thought has come up and redirect your attention to your breath. This requires practice. I was surprised at how difficult this was for me at first. Stick with it though.4. Just continue this process. You may never really become fully relaxed, and that is fine. Remember...mindfulness leads to a nonjudgemental awareness of the present moment. If you are chastising yourself for not getting it right, you are preventing yourself from reaching that relaxed state. It's like TRYING to fall asleep. You're only making it harder.
