DEEP DIVE OR TEACH MINDFULNESS COURSE

WELCOME

STEPS TO LEARNING

Ovio deep dive or teach mindfulness course checklist.

1. Set an intention for your learning.

Prepare an intention for why you want to teach (or learn) mindfulness and how you see your role as a mindfulness facilitator.

The preparation of this is as important as the content; it is a journey of self-discovery and self-revelation. Notice what comes up for you when you prepare to share your story. Notice any tendencies that arise to seek approval and acceptance rather than to be authentic.

Notice what arises in you when you begin to view yourself as a facilitator.

2. Prepare a special interest topic to discuss on the training

Find and express a piece of research, in your own words, based on the context you expect to be targeting (using) mindfulness training. e.g. workplace, sports, kids, wellness.

3. Get into the ‘Mindful Zone’ – journaling exercise (5mins)

Use the prompt below. Set a timer for 5 minutes. Invite and encourage your thoughts to flow. You may write about anything that comes to mind, even if it strays from the prompt. If you have nothing to write, then just keep writing “I have nothing to write.” Remember there is no right or wrong way to practice journaling. Keep writing until your time is up Mindfulness is…..

4. Intention object

Your favourite object, quote, poem, photo or anything you can think of that represents the mindfulness values of compassion, non judgement and acceptance to you (you’re welcome to choose more than one item). Have this/these items with you while you are on your journey with this Deep dive teach course as without these values mindfulness is not mindfulness 🙂
