GOUT UPDATE AHMED YEHIA 2024, case based approach with application of the lat...
Alive session s3
1. Welcome Before you go on, have a look at our Opening Prayer ( on the site ) Have a read of any comments from the previous week.
2. Slowing things down and paying attention to each aspect of our sensory experience can reveal things we may have never noticed before.
3. This week we will do a simple exercise involving “mindful” eating !!
4. This exercise will allow you to see how something as simple as eating can be dramatically different if we bring a different approach to it
5. If being mindful can so transform our experience of eating, what could it do for the experience of a sad mood?
6. If we can be present for it, with it, and during it, we could bring to that sad mood a mind that is ready to experience just that moment, with no presuppositions or assumptions about it whatsoever
7. Eventually, we can reach a point where every moment of sadness is no longer experienced as a whole life that’s going badly – but just as a moment that feels sad
8. We can learn to recognise that thoughts involve interpretations and judgments, which are not facts
9. We can learn to observe our thoughts and our feelings as experiences which come and go in the mind
10. We can “be” with our experiences just as they are – Not looking to change them or avoid them Just accepting them
11. This shift in awareness allows the current moment to be experienced and at the same time in one stroke cuts through the source of the additional unhappiness that normally follows…..
