Introduction Workshop Interpersonal Mindfulness / Mindful Communication

Introduction workshop Interpersonal Mindfulness / Mindful Communication 

Have you followed mindfulness training?
* Do you need to develop further with mindfulness?
* Do you want to learn to apply mindfulness in your life?
* Do you want to learn to be mindful in contact with others?

During the workshop we will discuss:
* Calm meditation from which clarity, wisdom and creativity can arise;
* Kindness meditation with which you become kinder to yourself and others;
* Meditations with which we increase our body awareness. This helps us with stress reduction and in contact with others;
* Interpersonal meditation to give more direction to our contacts and of course
* Lots of practice!

Background:
Communicate mindfully
We investigate how we can deepen and, where possible, improve the relationship with ourselves and others using practical communication guidelines. We do this step by step. We will do various (interactive) exercises for this.
In the two half-days we highlight various perspectives. This includes: listening attentively, speaking mindfully, and responding consciously.
This makes communication more compassionate, sincere and deeper. The exercises come from existing methods such as Interpersonal Mindfulness, Deep Listening, Insight Dialogue and Compassionate Listening.

Mindfulness and the brain
We delve deeper into how the brain works in relation to stress and get to know our emotion regulation and motivation systems better, from which much of our behavior is controlled and our well-being is determined. We discover how different elements of mindfulness and mindful communication contribute to bringing these systems into greater balance. This helps us to be more relaxed, both in contact with ourselves and in contact with others. We train our parasympathetic, the part of the nervous system that deals with calmness. In addition to theory, we will of course practice it.

In short, a very full day!
