Sean Fargo: 我曾经是一名僧侣,在寺院里度过了两年时间,这段经历让我深刻体会到正念冥想的力量。然而,当我想要将正念冥想分享给他人时,我却面临着强烈的自我怀疑和冒名顶替综合征。我害怕别人的评判,担心自己不够资格教导他人。我甚至做了一个反复出现的噩梦,梦中我被一位资深老师质疑我的资格。 为了克服这种恐惧,我尝试着将温柔的觉知带到恐惧本身,感受恐惧在身体中的各种感觉,例如头部的热度、胸口的紧缩、肚子里的蝴蝶等等。我尝试着不去评判这些感觉,而是以一种好奇和接纳的态度去观察它们。 随着时间的推移,我的恐惧逐渐消退。在梦中,我再次遇到了那位资深老师,但他这次没有再质疑我。我告诉他,很多人都在受苦,而我能够帮助他们,即使只是一点点。我意识到,帮助他人是我的责任,我不能袖手旁观。 从那以后,我开始自信地教授正念冥想。我意识到,教授正念并非要追求完美,而是要以一种充满慈悲和同理心的态度去帮助他人。 在教授正念的过程中,我发现体验式学习比冗长的解释更有效。我曾经在监狱中教授正念,那里的犯人们对正念充满了怀疑和抵触情绪。我尝试着以简单易懂的方式引导他们进行正念练习,并接纳他们的各种情绪。 我发现,教授正念的关键在于接纳学生的怀疑和抵触情绪,并以一种充满关怀和同理心的态度去引导他们。我们不是要试图说服任何人,而是要邀请他们去尝试,去体验正念练习,看看它是否对他们有所帮助。 有效的正念教学应该根据学员的需求进行调整,而非千篇一律。我们需要了解学员的目标和痛点,并根据他们的实际情况来调整教学内容和方式。
