Mindfulness Facts:
How do you train in mindfulness?
The first step in training your mind to access the state of mindfulness is to know what being mindful really means. Next step is to be mindful as often as possible. The more you practice accessing the state of mindfulness, the easier it will become over time.
As with other skills, practice makes perfect. So, in order to develop your mindfulness skills, you first need to know what is mindfulness and then you need to know how to engage in mindful activities.
Mindfulness activities can be divided into 2 categories: formal mindfulness (periods of quiet sitting mindfulness meditation) and informal mindfulness (engaging in regular activities, such as eating or exercising, but in a very conscious and mindful way.
To learn about mindfulness and its benefits, we need to practice it on a daily basis.
A one-time experience or occasional practice is not enough in terms of mental training.
Most mindfulness training programs last at least eight weeks. That period of time makes it easier for newcomers to mindfulness to develop new habits as they train in formal and informal mindfulness, and to experience the benefits that come with regular practice.
At the iNLP Center we offer well rounded Mindfulness Training which covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of mindfulness. Our course consists of written material that covers historical, scientific and practical information about mindfulness, guided mindfulness meditations to support your practice, and unlimited live sessions with a qualified Mindfulness Trainer who is there to support you as you develop your own mindfulness skills. Our course is self-paced, and we ask that you attend at least eight live classes in order to help you develop the habit of taking time to practice mindfulness. Your trainer is there to answer questions you may have about the theoretical and experiential aspects of mindfulness.
What are some mindfulness exercises?
A well-known mindfulness exercise is mindful eating. Mindful eating is best done when eating alone or when eating with others who are also going to practice mindful eating since it involves eating quietly.
When eating in such way, we slow down to really focus on the activity of eating, which also includes seeing, smelling, tasting and even listening to the foods we are eating. Savoring the food and experiencing it in a more conscious way with body and mind.
Mindful eating is the opposite of eating while multitasking or zoning away while munching and watching TV. Mindful eating about being fully present with our meal and noticing every sensory aspect related to it. Some people experience gratitude when eating in this way, and most report feeling fuller faster.
The Body Scan, a guided meditation which involves sensing the body from head to toe is another mindfulness exercise. It helps us become more aware of our body and its many parts, and by doing so we become more present and more in tune with our bodies.
Perhaps the most common mindfulness exercise is Mindful Breathing. This means paying full attention to our breath, not by controlling it, but by noticing it, by paying attention to each inhalation and exhalation, by feeling our belly expanding and compressing with each breath, and by learning to keep our attention there, at the core of our very physical existence.
Our Mindfulness Practitioner Course teaches you how to practice mindfulness in different scenarios and offers guided mindfulness meditations and exercises.
What qualifications do I need to teach mindfulness?
Aside from having a regular personal daily mindfulness practice that you’ve maintained for some time (months or ideally years), it is important that you know about the history of this ancient practice, which is at least 2600 years old. While mindfulness has gained popularity as a stress management tool in modern times, it is certainly not a panacea and people with certain mental health conditions need to approach it with some caution since it increases introspection and awareness of the inner mental life. Therefore, in order to teach mindfulness, a mindfulness practitioner must know about the contraindications of mindfulness.
Our Mindfulness Practitioner Certification Course covers the history, science and applications of mindfulness and it is taught by a Mindfulness Trainer who has been studying and practicing mindfulness for over 15 years and holds a Certificate in Mindfulness and Psychotherapy from the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Our course is comprehensive and it is meant to give you a complete and well-rounded introduction to mindfulness.
Our Mindfulness Practitioner Certification is not an official “mindfulness teacher training” course per se (those tend to be longer). Our course was developed to introduce anyone into the world of mindfulness and offer them a solid foundation from which to grow and develop a life-long mindfulness journey, and to teach mindfulness to life coaches and others who work with clients in the personal development world since mindfulness helps improve listening skills and the capacity to be more empathic.
However, because we ask that you come to at least eight live weekly sessions and that you practice mindfulness on a daily basis while you study with us, our course supports your evolution as a mindfulness practitioner. If you follow our recommendations for at least eight weeks and you keep practicing mindfulness after you complete it, it will give you the experience, confidence and information you need to teach mindfulness to others if you wish to do so. Many of our graduates (who tend to be coaches, counselors or teachers) feel confident enough to teach mindfulness to their clients and students by the time they complete their certification.
