• For people experienced in mindfulness: To diversify and give additional depth to your practices. This pack contains introductory practices, but we have also included and developed novel and unique exercises specifically for an experienced audience. Little gems to help you try something new and enhance you practice differently!
• For professionals (people in support and care work – teachers, coaches, trainers, etc.): This is a complete, fun and creative toolkit to support the facilitation and interventions with your audience and clients.

Beginners:

• Choose 1 or 2 exercises that appeal to you to start with, ones you feel you can practice quite easily. Then give yourself plenty of time to complete them well. This may take 1 to 2 weeks, or 2 to 3 months, it doesn’t matter. Only when you feel comfortable with these exercises, move on to new exercises and repeat the same process. In time your practice will become easier and feel more natural.
• If you like a challenge, go for ‘A mindful year’: choose 1 or 2 exercises to practice for one week. The following week select 1 or 2 more. Continue this way for one full year. The challenge here is to successfully practice all the exercises in the Mindfulness Cards box within one year!

 

Experienced practitioners and professionals: 

• Add new and original exercises to your practice in order to enrich your sessions.
• Use the cards as a toolbox with your clients. Spread the cards out on the floor and choose – or allow your clients to choose – the exercise(s). You can also use these exercises as practice to be done before, during, or after a face-to-face session. An exercise may also be used as ‘homework’ between two sessions.
• Identify your client’s need and select one or more exercises that are relevant to this specific need (work stress, anger, poor life satisfaction).
• Integrate mindfulness exercises into your training sessions, meetings, seminars, etc.: Choose an exercise that is relevant to the topic, context and participants. The exercises that are indicated as ‘individual practice’ can also be practiced in such conditions, with each participant  practicing the exercise individually.
