Mindful Awareness

UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center

Mindfulness is making the news these days. It has been depicted in the media primarily as a tool to hone attention, to cultivate sensory awareness, and to keep us in the present moment.

Developing these tools takes effort and determination, but why is it we can sometimes be mindful without really even trying? Perhaps we were naturally mindful at points in life before we ever learned what mindfulness was. Maybe we feel naturally connected, present, and at ease in nature. Or we become mindful while talking authentically with a friend, or in the midst of music, art, or athletic activity.

Mindfulness is not only a meditation technique, but also a state of being. This state is available to anyone; it is a natural human capacity. Mindfulness practice, as a tool, is tremendously helpful to cultivate this awareness, and the state can arise at any moment. Mindfulness is also connected to a set of powerful outcomes: happiness, emotional regulation, compassion, altruism, and kindness.

We encourage you to attend an array of offerings to cultivate the moment-to-moment awareness, which is the foundation of our practice.

Philosophy

1. Be o.k. with what you ultimately cannot do, because there is so much you can do.


2. Surround yourself with people you want to be around.

3. Keep moving forward:
"Around here... we don't look backwards for very long.  We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things."
- Walt Disney, (Meet the Robinsons)

Listen to your Inner Voice

Because people who "talk to themselves: are thought to be crazy, nearly everyone has an injunction against listening to the voices in their head.  This faculty which can be quickly recovered, however, if the proper permission is given.  Then almost anyone can listen in on his own internal dialogues.
- Eric Berne, What Do You Say After You Say Hello
