By now, we can all agree that mindfulness is a good thing and that it can help you live a better life. But for many, the practical aspect of mindfulness seems to be elusive. What exactly is it, or rather, how do you make mindfulness real in your life?
If you have asked this question at least once, then you might want to take a look at a course being offered by the Universiteit Leiden (The Netherlands).
What actually is mindfulness? Is it really good for you? Can anyone learn it? How can you recognize charlatans? Would you want to live in a mindful society, and would it smell like sandalwood? What does it feel like to be mindful? Are you mindful already, and how would you know?
Titled “De-mystifying Mindfulness“, the course will provide deeper insights into the popular mindfulness and meditation concepts and equip you with what you need to practice mindfulness in your daily life.
Evolving from the popular Honours Academy course at Leiden University, this innovative course combines conventional scholarly inquiry from multiple disciplines (ranging from psychology, through philosophy, to politics) with experiential learning (including specially designed ‘meditation labs,’ in which you’ll get chance to practice and analyze mindfulness on yourself). In the end, the course aims to provide a responsible, comprehensive, and inclusive education about (and in) mindfulness as a contemporary phenomenon.
