PSYCHOTHERAPY
happens in the present moment. Mindfulness is the art of staying with the present moment, in breath, body and emotion, no matter how challenging it might be. Recent scientific findings confirm the importance of introducing mindfulness awareness to manage mental health concerns. Mindfulness is a distinct state of consciousness characterised by a surrender to and acceptance of the happenings of the moment, a gentle sustained inward focus, a heightened sensitivity and the ability to observe and name the contents of consciousness.
HAKOMI MINDFULNESS
slows down our ever-busy state of mind, to become aware of our internal state on and study how one organises experience. Composed of memories, images, beliefs, neural patterns, and deeply held emotional dispositions, this material creates and maintains our images of self and of our culturally acquired world. It shapes the styles, habit, behaviours, perceptions, physical postures and attitude that define us as individual.
THE HAKOMI METHOD
allows us to distinguish between material that supports our being and, those that continues to limit us as they were learnt in response to difficult situations, and gently help us learn to modify willingly any material that is restricting our wholeness. As we experience ourselves in relation to another in a warm and loving environment, new neural connections are established, and we learn to respond to life in new and healthier ways. |
