Discussion Discussion

  • Discuss with trainees whether they were able to try some of the practices discussed in Module 1? What were the disturbances experienced during the practice.  Did the mind go back to the past, or fantasize about the future?  Could they focus the mind on one of the four postures? Or on the breath?
  • Discuss mindful sitting in depth, and move to mindfulness of the breath.  The need to slow down and experience each breath – and the characteristics of each breath.
  • Mindful walking is like charging our battery, and it’s always useful to walk mindfully before we start mindful sitting, after the battery is charged.
  • Is it useful to be mindful when eating? Why? How can we practice mindful eating?
  • How can we be present, attentive and mindful during many activities during the day? Consider how many times we may face unpleasant situations and how many times we should have been a ‘tortoise’, tucking in the limbs?
