我从小在祖母的影响下,养成了每日清晨静心的习惯,这为我日后学习正念冥想奠定了基础。成年后,我通过阅读《博伽梵歌每日生活》开始学习正念冥想,并将其与祖母的基督教祈祷冥想相结合。这种练习帮助我更好地了解自己的思维模式,并学会在面对生活挑战时保持平静。 在将正念融入法律教育的过程中,我面临着一些挑战,例如如何将佛教冥想技巧转化为更具包容性的方法,以及如何说服同事和学生接受正念练习。为了克服这些挑战,我与其他学者合作,创建了冥想课程和空间,并逐渐将正念融入课堂和教职工会议。通过这些努力,我成功地改变了法学院的文化,让正念成为了一种被广泛接受的实践。 在教学过程中,我发现正念不仅可以帮助学生减压,更重要的是可以促进个人和集体疗愈。正念可以帮助人们更好地认识到自身的情感,并学会以更富有同理心的方式与他人相处。我的“Mount Iris”社区项目旨在将爱心融入正念实践,强调人际关系和集体疗愈的重要性。在这个项目中,我们通过冥想、分享故事等方式,帮助人们在充满挑战的时代保持联系,并提醒人们自身的价值和重要性。 总而言之,我的正念实践和教学经历表明,正念不仅是一种个体化的修行方式,更是一种可以促进个人和集体疗愈的强大工具。通过将正念融入日常生活和工作中,我们可以创造一个更加和谐、充满爱与关怀的社会。
