Introduction to Mindfulness:
Module 3 of 3
10 August 2013 to 11 August 2013 23:59
This is the third module of a three module course.
To be aware of reality, as it unfolds moment by moment, has been at the heart of the Beshara School’s courses since they began in 1975. This is because the School’s purpose is the provision of an education in self-knowledge. The knowledge of who we really are arises when we give up trying to be someone else or be somewhere else, bringing our attention fully to the present moment, contented and leaning on our essential reality. This approach is the essence of mindfulness.
The present day Mindfulness movement, stemming from the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn and others, continues to be highly successful in bringing wisdom, insight and practices derived from the Buddhist tradition to mainstream application, in many fields including healthcare and stress reduction, benefitting hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. Mindfulness practice has application for virtually everyone.
The particular focus of the Beshara School’s Mindfulness course is the practical application of mindfulness practice to self-enquiry and self-knowledge in the light of the unity of existence.
These dimensions will be introduced during the course, to be further explored by those who wish to do so in any of the other courses offered by the Beshara School.
The Beshara School’s Mindfulness courses are open to all, irrespective of each person’s particular requirement. The courses runs over a period of 2 months, with three weekend modules and ongoing daily practice.
