Days of Mindfulness
If you have taken an Introductory Mindfulness course, with UNC Program on Integrative Medicine, you are welcomed to join one us for a Day of Mindfulness, that's held throughout the year.
Preparation for the Day of Mindfulness
The Day of Mindfulness provides us with the opportunity to deepen our practice of awareness and thus the ability to be present in the moment. We will spend the day practicing the seven pillars of mindfulness practice, including non-striving. We will have the opportunity to fully experience being human without any distractions and outside responsibilities. During our time of non-striving, we will silently and slowly go about sitting, walking, lying down, stretching, and eating. These activities will fill our day.
During much of the practice time, you will be asked to remain silent except for questions or for an emergency. Please arrange for your responsibilities so that you will not be interrupted during the day by cell phones and pagers. Remember, the purpose of the program is to be as mindful as you can. At the end of the day, there will be an opportunity to talk and to share your experiences.
You need to bring to the Day of Mindfulness:
If you have the book Full Catastrophe Living, you may refer to the chapter on “A Day of Mindfulness” for background information.
Please remember to bring a lunch!
