Week 3 MBSR
This week we are bringing awareness to sensations of Movement, the movement of the breath and the body and our moment by moment awareness of this.
We're also starting to work with the short 3 Step Breathing Space. Practicing this regularly throughout the day helps us become familiar with the practice so that it will be easily available to us in times of difficulty.

Week 6 MBSR and beyond
Continue using the guided meditations above.
This week we looked at Mindful Communications. Communications with colleagues or loved ones especially can be a source of great stress when they're not going well and we've slipped into bad habits. Aikido offers several moves that can be used as a metaphor for communication styles.
Do take a look at this video by
Judy Ringer where she demonstrates the Aikido strategies.
