Mindfulness Exercises for Well-being
「靜觀」是指「有意識地、不加批判地留心當下此刻而升起的覺察，藉以瞭解自己，培育智慧與慈愛」。培養這種專注覺察讓我們對自己內在狀況和周遭處境有更清晰的了解，從而能夠更善巧地應對各種情況和困擾。在這工作坊，我們會一起經驗一些靜觀減壓方法，學習專注當下，從而更加照顧自己的身心。
“Mindfulness is the awareness that arises from paying attention on purpose, in the present moment non-judgmentally in the service of self-understanding, wisdom, and compassion.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn
Mindfulness can be described as being completely awake and present, moment by moment to what is happening within us and around us. It allows us to stay calm and make sane choices in face of daily stresses.
AT THE END OF THE WORKSHOP, YOU WILL HAVE:
- Experienced basic mindfulness practices
- Enhanced your awareness of the present
- Learnt to take better care of yourself
