Meditation Practices
Readings
Weekly readings are taken from “The Mindfulness Solution to Pain” book.
Chapter 2 – “Mindfulness: What is it? Getting Acquainted with Your Inner Resources” (pages 23-30)
Chapter 4 – “Mindfulness: Checking in On your Progress” (pages 42-48). Paying special attention to “Showering Mindfully” and “Cleaning Mindfully” (pages 46-47)
Chapter 8 – “Sleep”. This will be discussed further in class 9, however it may be beneficial to read early in the course. (pages 116-119)
Weekly Activities
Choosing one activity of daily living to do mindfully, just once in the ensuing week. Examples might include taking a shower, brushing teeth or washing dishes, or walking the dog, but not cooking or eating, as these will be looked at in a subsequent class.
Perhaps noticing what happens to your pain levels while mindfully performing the activities.
We encourage you to bring any observations to our next class.
