Description:
Inner awareness is key to understanding and taking care of our mental and emotional landscapes. The awareness of sensations, breath, thoughts, and emotions all culminate in recognizing what is. By repeatedly observing each moment, we become sensitive to our internal needs through the language of the body, the movement of breath, the quiet whispering of the heart, and the changeable nature of the mind.
With practice, our capacity to understand how our environment, conversations, and stressors affect us grows until it becomes second nature. Through this deep inner knowing, we learn to use skillful means to respond to and take kind care of ourselves anytime and anywhere.

Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare providers play a crucial role in supporting patients through illness, end-of-life care, and death. Through their own practice of befriending mortality in this workshop, healthcare providers can be more empowered to acknowledge and discuss the topic of death with their patients, helping them align their lives with their values, live more fully, and prepare fearlessly for the end, ultimately providing holistic care.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
At the end of the program you will be better able to:
- Describe the advantages of focusing on bodily sensations as a preliminary step to addressing cognitive processes, which includes reducing stress, enhancing emotional regulation, and preventing cognitive distortions;
- Describe the process and benefits of maintaining internal sensory awareness during interpersonal communication, leading to improved emotional intelligence, greater empathy, and more effective patient care in clinical settings.
