Welcome to your MLP Mindfulness Foundations Course Home, with resources and downloads to support you in developing your daily mindfulness practice and living mindfully throughout your day.
Many thanks for your willingness in being a volunteer student for our teachers training in our year-long mindfulness training program. This practicum uses the complete curriculum offered publicly. It follows the first half of the year of rich learning both personally with their practice and in a wide range of learning through the study of various concepts and topics.
The MLP Foundations Course combines the practice of meditation with the application of mindfulness in daily life. Our goal is to help you to live your life with attention and intention, cultivating the skills that empower you to make healthy choices that are in alignment with your values and that are meaningful to you.
Attention – Developing attention through meditation training.
Wisdom – Understanding one’s biases, labeling, projections and pre-judgments. Increasing emotional intelligence and learning to respond rather than react.
Values – Living a meaningful life. Developing healthy habits and responses that are in alignment with one’s personal values.
Open heart – Developing healthy relationships and connections. Cultivating skills of compassion, loving-kindness, empathic joy, and equanimity.
In order to live a meaningful life and develop the freedom to live consciously, the curriculum focuses on training the mind and cultivating the ability to make healthy choices that are beneficial to the life you want to live. In this way, you can live your life with attention and intention.
