WHAT IS
MINDFULNESS?
MINDFULNESS: THE NEW SUPERPOWER?
“Mindfulness is a way
of being in wise and
purposeful relationship
with one’s experience,
both inwardly and
outwardly.”
MINDFULNESS IS NOT
o Positive thinking
o Just another relaxation
technique
o Going into a trance
o Clearing your mind
“One of the most effective means for working with that moment when we see the gathering storm of our habitual tendencies is the practice of pausing, or creating a gap. We can stop and take three conscious breaths, and the world has a chance to open up to us in that gap. We can allow space into our state of mind.” - Pema Chodron
Resiliency skill - Mindful Pause
“…learning to observe ourselves in real time. As we pay attention, we begin to see ourselves (and others) more clearly. And, based on our clear-seeing, we are able
to make wise choices—so we can act rather than react.” Pamela Wise, Appropriate Response

Blocks to Listening
From Mindless Listening to Mindful Listening
“Listening takes a combination of intention and attention. The intention part is having a genuine interest in the other person – their experiencing, view, feelings, and needs. The attention part is being able to stay present, open, and unbiased as we receive the other’s words – even when they don’t line up with our own ideas or desires.”
Mindfulness and Heartfulness
