    Martial Arts and PTSD

    • Embodied Mindfulness
      David Lukoff and Richard Strozzi Heckler discuss Aikido and tai chi as martial arts that embody mindfulness practices, compassion practices and a spiritual path that also provide somatic exercise and opportunities for social touch. They can be particularly appealing to veterans coming from a warrior ethos tradition who are used to coordinating closely with others and rigorous somatic training.

    Engaged Narrative Processes

    • Mindfulness and life stories
      Julia Falk, PhD, shares conclusions of research in which participants attached many different meanings to overall course experience, both to the process of finding and sharing stories and to the content of the stories themselves [which] corresponded with existential concerns: being and becoming, awareness, relationship, meaning and responsibility.

    The Enneagram and Personal Growth

    • A simple framework for mindfulness and self-discovery
      Darrell Barr explains that unlike many approaches to personality, the enneagram purports to show us not only the bright side of our personalities but also to reveal the subtle ways in which we defeat ourselves. Mindful acceptance of self-defeating patterns promotes growth and enables deeper insights that can drive personal improvement.

      Lois Yamauchi, PhD, describes how humanistic mentoring emphasizes being present with protégés and carefully observing their actions and emotions without being judgmental.

      Amid our current infatuation with mindfulness, we must guard against becoming too comfortable among the clouds.
      By Edward Mendelowitz, PhD
