Quieting the Mind Part 1
Quieting the Mind explores the nature of mindfulness and the very considerable physical, cognitive and emotional benefits that accrue from developing this capability.
A quiet mind is a strong mind. In this and the following talk we’ll examine why and how this is so. In Part 1 we’ll examine the reasons that a quiet mind is so beneficial, and we’ll look at two practices to induce it: extended out breathing and a simple mindfulness meditation. In part 2 we’ll explore other applications: everyday mindfulness, interpersonal mindfulness, and using mindfulness to increase our emotional intelligence and balance.
