Palm the Present Moment

The DBT Skills Training Group practiced mindfulness by palming the present moment and increasing awareness of the current moment.
Take a time to appreciate your body and mind for actively participating in your steps toward growth.

The DBT Skills Training group practiced mindfulness by palming the present moment and increasing awareness of the current moment.

 

Read the instructions below and experience mindfulness of the present moment. 

 

Begin by focusing on your breathing and take several deep breaths in and exhaling fully.  

 

Raise your hands up to your chest as the palms face each other 15-20 cm apart. Notice how much energy and tension it requires.   

 

Very slowly bring the palms together, pause when you notice any sensations of pressure, warmth, or energy. Notice the sensation. Is it changing moment by moment or it is consistent?  

 

Bring the palms closer together just until the fingertips touch. Imagine a few molecules of the right-hand dancing with molecules on the fingertips of the left-hand.  

 

Very slowly, continue to bring the palms closer together until they gently touch one another and notice the subtle shift in the positioning of your wrist, elbows, back, and chest. Notice the heat or temperature building up. Relax your body, other than your hands, as much as you can and notice the change in sensations. 

 

Finally, like a flower blossom opening up to the morning sun, slowly open your palms up, letting the light and air in. Notice the coolness of the air between the palms. Very slowly, feel the gravity tugging at your arms and your hands until they come down to rest on your lap.

 

Take a breath in and exhale out and take time to appreciate your body and mind for actively participating in your steps towards growth.

I had doubted the purpose of life when I had to tolerate the painful difficulties, although I understood that life cannot be always without obstacles.

아동 청소년 자살행동의 변화 양상: 인종 차이와 위험 요인에 대한 연구

양미린ㅣMirin Yang, MA

어린 아동과 소수민족의 자살행동에 대한 연구를 통해 더 많은 정책과 지원, 그리고 보호체계가 만들어질 수 있고, 이를 연구하는 연구자들 역시 증가하게 될 것입니다. 우리 사회에서 소수자로서 살아가고 있는 이들에 대한 진정한 관심과 협력이 더욱 증진되기를 바랍니다.
