Mindfulness of the Month

3-Minute Breathing Space Having a rough day? Feeling stressed out? The beauty of the 3-minute breathing space exercise is that it quickly helps you step out of autopilot in order to reconnect to the present moment.
1st Minute: Awareness
Adopt an alert yet comfortable posture,
close your eyes, bring your attention inward. Ask yourself, "What is my experience right now ...in thoughts...in feelings...and in bodily sensations?
Acknowledge your experience in this moment, even if it is unwanted.
2nd Minute: Gathering
Gently direct awareness to breathing, following each inbreath and each
outbreath, one after the other. Your breath can function as an anchor to bring you into the present and help you tune into a state of awareness and stillness.
3rd Minute: Expanding
Now, expand the field of your awareness around your breathing, so that it
includes a sense of the body as a whole, your posture, and facial
expression. The breathing space provides a way to step out of automatic pilot mode and reconnect with the present moment. When you're ready, open your eyes and return to your day.

FREE Mindfulness Seminar!
|
 The September 2009 issue of Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) presented a research article regarding the increasing problem of physician burnout. Of particular concern are the consequences of physician burnout: poorer quality of life, poorer quality of services, and lowered ability of 'being present' with their patients. Implementing mindfulness training was found to have significant positive effects at increasing mindfulness skills, empathy, and emotional stability while reducing burnout and total mood disturbance. Physicians were thus better able to attend to their patients and engage in a more productive manner.
Health care providers need to find a way to reduce job burnout in order to provide quality patient care. To this end, MindBodyHealth is offering a FREE 2-Hour Mindfulness Seminar for all those working in a health care related field in which they have direct contact with patients (physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, PA's, dietitians, chiropractors, dentists, social workers, massage therapists etc). This class will include a mindfulness tutorial and experiential mindfulness exercises of Body Scan, Sitting Meditation, and Walking Meditation, that reflect skills taught in the JAMA research article.
These skills are crucially important to helping YOU reduce burnout and improve quality direct patient care.
