    Mindfulness Meditation

    May 23, 2016 / No Comments

    One of the best ways to calm your mind and gain perspective in your relationship with your loved one with BPD is through mindfulness meditation. I’ve found that Headspace is great place to start with a mindfulness meditation practice. One really cool product that I stumbled upon on Amazon is the Alexia Meditation Seat. While it is quite pricey, I’ve not found another such product that makes it quite a bit easier to develop a correct sitting meditation position. No related posts.

    It has been integrated into many different treatments since the mid 90s for chronic pain, depression and, perhaps most famously, borderline personality disorder via DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy). What’s so great about mindfulness? Kyle MacDonald 5:00 PM Thursday Mar 3, 20167 comments I’ve been told I should meditate for my anxiety, but it’s too hard. Any tips?Anxious, Napier Mindfulness is very trendy at the moment, and it’s not often you can say that about a psychological treatment. But it isn’t all incense, throw cushions and sitting cross-legged with your eyes shut. So what is mindfulness and why is it so popular? Mindfulness comes from Buddhist traditions and is a series…

    The great, dialectical wisdom of the serenity prayer

    December 13, 2012 / No Comments

    The original serenity prayer as written by  Reinhold Niebuhr goes like this: God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Amen. The…

    December 1, 2012 / 1 Comment

    With our busy lives, with our worries about family, friends, money and work, it can be difficult to be fully present and to fully participate in each moment, task or interaction with others. The DBT skill “One Mindfully” helps to focus your attention on the current moment, task or interaction with other people. The details are: Let go of distractions and worries in the current moment. Focus your attention on the moment. Breathe and allow the distracting and worrying thoughts to exit your mind, like water going down a drain. Concentrate on the current moment. When you wash the dishes, just wash the dishes. Attend to the sensory feelings –…
