    MINDFULNESS TECHNIQUES USED IN THERAPY

    Mindfulness-based therapy uses mindfulness meditation. During mindfulness meditation, therapist guides the client or group in therapy to direct their focus on the present moment. The participants are trained to zone in on a particular phenomenon. If the participants become aware that their thoughts are drifting away from the present, they are encouraged to take notice of where they are and what they are doing before bringing their attention back to the present moment, without reacting or judging themselves. The therapist can help those in treatment understand and address emotions and physical sensations associated with thoughts.

    As mindfulness practices develop, clients can integrate mindfulness into their daily lives. Mindfulness can be helpful modulating emotions and thoughts in everyday experiences. Verbal cues help the client maintain awareness moment to moment. Breathing exercises, body scan meditations, and guided imagery can also be practiced. This continuation of the therapeutic process allows the individual to observe, explore, and experience mindfulness in a non-clinical environment and later examine, in session, the effects and obstacles encountered during daily life. The combined observations and examination can often become a catalyst for change.
