![]() (This educational program will be repeated periodically. In the interim, individual and small group services are available.) ![]() Mindfulness Meditation InstructionSix Thursday evenings, beginning May 6, 2010 (7:30 - 9 PM) Mindfulness Meditation is a technique that, when
practiced, enables one to rest the awareness gently in the present
moment. We spend most of our time thinking about the past or the
future, and miss the vividness and vitality of what is right in
front of us and our five senses. While not meant as a substitute
for therapy, mindfulness practice can be a good adjunct to good
Cognitive-Behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression. It is also
useful for anyone interested in living life in a more awake
way.
This training will be mostly experiential. We
will practice various modalities, such as traditional
(non-religious) sitting meditation, the "body scan," mindful
walking, and especially learning to bring mindfulness into everyday
life. This is not group therapy. No personal disclosure is
required. No previous experience is necessary.
Andre Papantonio, LCPC, has been practicing
meditation for 30 years, and teaching it for 20. He has presented
these trainings internationally, including presentations on the
conjunction of meditation and therapy. For further information call
