Also I have such a block with mindful movement. Does anyone know of any courses where I can practise ” big time”
I think I need to challenge myself with this. Something psychological happens to me when I move into exploring my body and movement. Any ideas. I blame my PE teacher fro
School!

I’m interested in discussing how and when to introduce focusing on the breath to clients who suffer from anxiety?

I am interested in mindful approaches to breathing. Generally there is an encouragement to allow the body to breathe automatically and to relinquish conscious control of the breath. This is helpful in making the process of letting go of control open to mindful awareness.
But does this preclude being mindful of the experience of intentional breathing? In fact does mindfully undertaking periods of intentional breathing offer a more helpful contrast with then mindfully exploring releasing control back to the body? And does engaging in intentional breathing open up mindful awareness in the midst of intentional action?
Is being mindful of intentional breathing different to being mindful of intentional walking?

Sorry this is a bit late for the agenda but would like to talk about whether ‘resigning’ yourself to practice (what I do at the moment) is an okay way to appraoch it. Sinking feeling in the stomach rather than skipping there. Would be interested in hearing other’s experience.

Hey just thought id give it a go. I dont think I can make the January meeting but will know more by the end of the week. For me, I would like to use the supervision to explore ways of working with clients in an imaginative way intergrating mindfulness into our work. I find it helpful to hear of other peoples experiences and clients reactions. For me, this could help build up my confidence to enable me to work with mindfulness more creatively. It would probably help me more to practice with others in the group as well.
