2 Overview of Mindfulness Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally. - - Jon Kabat- ZInn The present moment is :lled with joy and happiness. If you are attentive you will see it. - - Thich Nhat Hanh For 10 or 15 minutes twice a day I sit peacefully. I relax and think about nothing or as little as possible. --Justice Stephen Breyer Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention to what is taking place in the present moment. While this is easier said than done, mindfulness exercises are simple to learn and can have meaningful benefits across a variety of areas including stress reduction, clarity and concentration, immune functioning, and working with anxiety and depression. Mindfulness is becoming an especially relevant topic within the legal profession and a growing number of legal organizations are including mindfulness information on their websites and offering mindfulness presentations and workshops. Recent neuroscience research exploring mindfulness meditation is finding that mindfulness practices are associated with changes to the structure and function of the brain in the areas of attention, emotional regulation, and memory. Mindfulness practices, and the insights out of which they flow, offer a fresh (yet timeless) approach to working and thriving amid stressful environments. Rather than resisting unwanted and undesirable events (and people), mindfulness invites you to learn ways of relating to these experiences from a place of equanimity, curiosity, and insight, borne out of a deeper understanding of the nature of mental activity, distraction, and the power of deliberate attention. Medical and neuroscience research support the benefits to brain and body that are associated with mindfulness exercises. Together we will begin to explore some fundamental mindfulness insights and mindfulness exercises that you can incorporate into your day to help you find a little more ease in the midst of stressful situations, relate more effectively to challenging people and events, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.

3 One Minute Mindfulness Exercise 1. Sit in a chair with eyes lowered or closed. Uncross your legs and allow your hands to rest by your side or on your lap. 2. Allow your posture to be upright and stable, but not too taut not slouched. 3. Take a few breaths and bring awareness to your body, sitting in the chair. 4. As you breathe, pay attention to the movement of the breath as it enters and leaves your body, attending to the feel of air around your nostrils or mouth, or the rise and fall of your belly. 5. There is no need to control your breathing or to try to breathe in any particular way. 6. Maintain awareness on your breathing, noticing the breath as you might the coming and going of ocean waves against the shore. 7. When you notice your mind getting lost in distraction (and you will), gently bring awareness back to the breath. 8. When you are ready, bring awareness to the body. Gently lift your gaze or open your eyes. Carry a bit of the state of mind and body you have cultivated into the moments that follow. Mindfulness exercises can be found on websites across the Internet. Below are some webpages with exercises you may find of interest: (Miami Law) (MARC) (Contemplative Mind) Copyright Scott L. Rogers.
