Contemplative Clinical Science
We all feel stressed, irritable, exhausted and low at times. This is completely normal. For those of us who suffer from depression, however, what starts as an ordinary bout of low mood can spiral into a full-blown depressive episode.
John Powell, Director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley, discusses the essence of contemplative training in every day. He speaks of the heart of contemplative practice as understanding its relationship to the larger society, and as a consequence, the healing that can occur through supporting each other.
What is mindfulness? The founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction explains.
"Kids Yoga with Numbers masterfully engages children in a challenging yoga routine! Children count to twenty with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic stimulation to maximize the learning experience. Each number in this 27 minute DVD is introduced with a corresponding yoga pose that develops strength, balance and flexibility! This innovative approach to number identification helps children get familiar with number succession and symbols as they hear counting repetitions while they repeat the fish pose two times or hold the tree pose for five seconds. Recommended for children 3 years old and up. Yoga with numbers delivers a truly physical and cerebral experience that boosts confidence and encourages mental focus."--Pkg. back cover.
During adolescence, young people are traversing exciting and also challenging stages in their development. Mindfulness, if taught in a developmentally appropriate way, has the potential to be an asset in adolescents' lives. Developmentally appropriate approaches of mindfulness intervention during adolescence need to consider adolescents' social contexts (for example, school setting, peer group, family), their cognitive and emotional stages in development, and age-specific strength and vulnerabilities. This chapter puts mindfulness education into a developmental perspective, and presents the Learning to BREATHE program as a school-based universal intervention for adolescents. The authors describe developmental dimensions and themes of the program, and discuss common challenges of program implementation in schools. A case example of bringing the Learning to BREATHE program into the school context is provided.
