We've had a bit of a last minute program change, (not that I believe anyone actually looks at the program??) and this week Sylvie is going to run a session called Mindful Seeing.
With
our busy lives, and when under stress, we often cannot seethings as they are and
our perception can lose its depth and even blind us from what is right before
our eyes. To a certain extent, this is normal and part of our evolution. As Rick
Hanson, neuropsychologist and author of the Buddha's Brain, says: "Before we can focus
on what we'll have for lunch, we have to make sure that we're not going to be
someone else's lunch". The good news is that our meditation practice
can help us broaden our vision so we can see more deeply what surrounds us.
This week, Sylvie will invite you to participate in a short research experiment
followed by a "mindful seeing" exercise. So, come and see for
yourself what we mean by mindful vision.
Also, for those interested, there is a Buddhism & Psychotherapy conference on in Sydney the weekend after next. Click here for more details.
I hope you can make it on Thursday night.
