Everyone wants to be free from unnecessary suffering. This wa s the Buddha’s only concern and every practice he taught served to encourag e the liberation of a clear mind and a warm heart. The relief of emotional suffering is also the focus of contemporary psychotherapy and the wide rang e of techniques now available all serve this important goal. How are we, th en, to understand these ancient mindfulness practices alongside the new and very potent methods for emotional and relational healing? Both approaches are profoundly transformative and when skillfully woven together they pave the way for increased vitality and a deeper sense of peace, freeing the bur den of unnecessary suffering. Such an integrated approach shows us how to g row up and wake up to who and what we truly are. This week will be geared t oward understanding the function of mindfulness as the core practice that l inks both paths to greater wellbeing. Each day we will explore these integr ated teachings and actively engage in mindful practices to experientially t aste their potential. Throughout the week we will explore the foundational Buddhist teachings on mindfulness found in the Sattipathana Sutra. We will also be drawing heavily on two methods of contemporary psychotherapy — Hako mi and Internal Family Systems. These remarkably skillful approaches weave together applied mindfulness with an understanding of the multiplicity of m ind in ways that reveal the Buddha’s teachings as practical tools for perso nal and relational transformation. We will examine the ways in which our ev eryday sense of “self” emerges and is sustained, how the contraction of con ditioning leads to unnecessary suffering, how assisted self-discovery in mi ndfulness opens us beyond our habits toward greater possibilities for freed om, and how being led from the deepest source of wisdom and compassion supp orts practical human maturity. Along with reviewing the foundations of thes e two therapeutic models, our investigation will touch on perspectives from child development, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and cont emplative psychology. Ultimately, we will investigate the ways that attenti on to relationality and mutual care opens the way to a life of freedom and joy.
