Practice II: Attention to the senses: Learning to Look from the Heart.
Objective: To exercise mindfulness focused on something around us, regardless of thoughts of past or future situations.
Materials: Comfortable clothes and a comfortable seat will be used that allow us to maintain a meditative but relaxed posture, which brings us closer to staying "awake" during the development of the activity. Travel diary, overhead projector and loudspeakers.
Detail: A video of a dance is initially
presented with the idea of developing mindfulness in movement, in music, in
our thoughts, senses, body and mind. As an action prior to the development of
Dance.
The following videos will be
displayed:
Simply observe and let our attention
focus on the dance and its meaning for each of the people who attend the
course. With the intention of feeling and living the experience as a means of
channeling our full attention.
When we observe that our attention has left the video, observe what it is that caught your attention and return to the moment to observe the video, through the support of breathing exclusively.
We can increase the duration of the videos as a means of training our sustained and non-appraisal attention.
We must remember that watching the videos or the movement of our companions (as) without more, without making judgments or evaluations (actions that appear naturally).
The key to mindfulness is being aware of when a thought, image, sound, emotion, etc. appears that separates us from our goal at that moment, being able to reconnect with what at that moment must be made to be. enjoy the dance.
It always ends with a personal reflection that is transferred to the travel diary.
