7 June 2021: In this guided meditation lead by Dr Dorianne Cotter-Lockard, we are invited to broaden our awareness as we use our senses of hearing and vision in combination with breath awareness.

4 June 2021:  In formal mindfulness meditation practice, we are instructed to notice when the mind has wandered from the object of meditation, the breath. Once we notice that we are “thinking,” we are invited to gently return focus to the breath: the in-breath, the out-breath, as well as the tiny space between breaths. Dr. Donna Rockwell will lead us in shamatha-vipashana (mindful awareness) practice, where “returning” to the breath is emphasized to train the brain to do this noticing and returning in daily life.

28 May 2021: Dean Moss will facilitate an imagery experience consulting with one's Council of Advisors. Participants will construct an inner circle of advisors and consult their wisdom and direction.

24 May 2021:  Dr. Valerie Worthington invites us to reflect on being a good neighbor and how we can engage that principle in our everyday lives.

21 May 2021: In recognition of the first annual Mental Health Action Day, Dr. Sims guides us through a moment of stillness that aims to turn mental health awareness into action. This mindful moment is dedicated to an experience that invites us to check in with ourselves.

17 May 2021:  Dr. Selene Kumin Vega guides us through an exercise adapted from Molly Brown, based in Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis, exploring awareness and the inquiry of who is aware.

14 May 2021: Loving Kindness Compassion meditation, also known as metta, is a foundational method in the collection of mindfulness practices. In this guided meditation, Dr. Luann Fortune adopts words from Kabat-Zinn's writing to lead us through offering loving-kindness to ourselves and others.

10 May 2021: Tara is a fully enlightened female Buddha, called the Mother of all Buddhas, who emulates compassion in action. Meditating on Tara helps us see reality and ourselves more clearly. Dr. Donna Rockwell will lead us in a Green Tara meditation to help us awaken our buddhanature, the basic goodness in everyone.

In this guided mindful moment, Dr. Luann Fortune combines the ayurvedic technique of abhyanga (self-massage) and guided imagery to lead a brief visit to a spa experience for restoration and renewal. Mindfulness Moments will be on break now until the summer term. We start up again Monday, May 10 for live sessions on Mondays and Fridays through the end of July.
