Mindfulness is simply bringing your attention to what is happening in the present moment with a compassionate and non-judgmental attitude. It is through our capacity to compassionately be with the truth of our experience, rather than push it away, that we can make positive change in our lives.
I draw strongly from the Hakomi method, an experiential somatic therapy method that uses mindfulness and creative experiments to uncover and transform core material. These sessions often result in a greater trust in the client’s inner wisdom.
Hakomi is based on the Buddhist and Taoist principles of:
Non-Violence
Organicity
Unity
Mind/Body Integration
Mindfulness
