Level 1 – Outline

Awareness and Automatic Pilot

Welcome to start your mindfulness journey. This part explores what it means to be truly present and bring our attention to the moment. We’ll start with basic mindfulness practices and gradually move to more focused awareness of our body and movement.

• Learn and/or be reminded of the basics of mindfulness, focusing on the breath, and practicing short meditations.

Living in Our Heads

Next up, we’ll dive into the patterns of our minds. Recognizing habitual thought patterns helps us understand how our minds often operate on autopilot. This week is about cultivating awareness of thoughts and staying present.

• Identify and observe negative thought patterns without judgment.

Gathering the Scattered Mind

Here, it’s about strengthening our focus and attention. By honing our ability to concentrate on breath, body, and external sounds, we gather our scattered thoughts. This week also equips us to handle difficulties with kindness.

• Focus on breath and body to develop concentration.

Recognizing Aversion and Reactivity

We’ll look at how we react to aversion and discomfort. By recognizing our tendencies to avoid certain experiences, we can approach them with mindfulness and compassion. Let’s reflect on our progress and set intentions for continued practice.

• Seeing Negativity with gentle attention / Using “Breathing spaces” as skilful response

Level 2 – Outline

Exploring Acceptance and Allowing 

Here we’ll focus on accepting and allowing experiences to unfold. We’ll practice noticing and gently holding discomfort, rather than resisting it. Mindfulness teaches us how to stay with difficult emotions, cultivating a sense of balance and equanimity.

• Embrace the art of “allowing” by observing physical sensations and emotional responses without judgment. Learn practices for nurturing acceptance and compassion.

Relating to Thoughts Differently 

It’s not about stopping or changing thoughts—it’s about observing them with curiosity. By relating to thoughts differently, we can disentangle from their grip and find freedom.

• Develop skills to detach from over-identifying with thoughts. Use mindfulness techniques to explore thought patterns and let them pass like clouds in the sky.

Cultivating Compassion for Self and Others 

Through cultivating compassion, both for ourselves and others, we begin to embrace a kinder, gentler relationship with life. Mindfulness amplifies our capacity for empathy, gratitude, and connection.

• Practice loving-kindness meditation, reflecting on compassion toward yourself, loved ones, and even challenging individuals.

Maintaining and Deepening Practice 

Now it is about embedding mindfulness into daily life and creating intentions for continued growth. We’ll reflect on progress and celebrate our learning, preparing to bring mindfulness into the everyday rhythm of living.

• Deepen your mindfulness practice with advanced techniques and plan ways to integrate mindfulness into life moving forward.

22-days of mindfulness in life

Everyone can benefit from building mental capacity, expanding awareness and cultivating presence. Participants will learn skills and practices to increase resilience to stress and negative thinking spirals.
