The applications and use of mindfulness-based interventions in
medicine, mental health care, and education have been expanding as
rapidly as the empirical evidence base that is validating and
recommending them. This growth has created a powerful demand for
professionals who can effectively deliver these interventions, and
for the training of new professionals who can enter the fold.
Ironically, while the scientific literature on mindfulness has
surged, little attention has been paid to the critical "who" and
"how" of mindfulness pedagogy. "Teaching Mindfulness" is the first
in-depth treatment of the person and skills of the mindfulness
teacher. It is intended as a practical guide to the landscape of
teaching, to help those with a new or growing interest in
mindfulness-based interventions to develop both the personal
authenticity and the practical know-how that can make teaching
mindfulness a highly rewarding and effective way of working with
others. The detail of theory and praxis it contains can also help
seasoned mindfulness practitioners and teachers to articulate and
understand more clearly their own pedagogical approaches.
Engagingly written and enriched with vignettes from actual
classes and individual sessions, this unique volume:
Places the current mindfulness-based interventions in their
cultural and historical context to help clarify language use, and
the integration of Eastern and Western spiritual and secular
traditions
Offers a highly relational understanding of mindfulness practice
that supports moment-by-moment work with groups and individuals
Provides guidance and materials for a highly experiential
exploration of the reader's personal practice, embodiment, and
application of mindfulness
Describes in detail the four essential skill sets of the
mindfulness teacher
Proposes a comprehensive, systematic model of the intentions of
teaching mindfulness as they are revealed in the mindfulness-based
interventions
Includes sample scripts for a wide range of mindfulness
practices, and an extensive resource section for continued personal
and career development
Essential for today's practitioners and teachers of
mindfulness-based interventions
"Teaching Mindfulness: A Practical Guide for Clinicians and
Educators" brings this increasingly important discipline into
clearer focus, opening dialogue for physicians, clinical and health
psychologists, clinical social workers, marriage and family
therapists, professional counselors, nurses, occupational
therapists, physical therapists, pastoral counselors, spiritual
directors, life coaches, organizational development professionals,
and teachers and professionals in higher education, in short,
everyone with an interest in helping others find their way into the
benefits of the present moment.
