1 What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is the awareness of what is happening in your body, mind, and environment, in the here and now. It is not a technique, but a way of being, that involves paying attention with curiosity, openness, and acceptance. Mindfulness can help you break free from the cycle of reactivity, rumination, and avoidance that often follows trauma, and instead, create space for healing and growth. Mindfulness can also help you reconnect with your inner resources, such as resilience, strength, and wisdom, that can support you in your recovery journey.

I like to talk about mindfulness by talking about what it's not. When we are mindless or when we are on autopilot, we do things without any awareness. That's great for some things in life... ... but if we aren't mindful; we lose our phone or our keys, we walk into a room and can't remember why, we pick up our phone to do something and waste time on something completely different. We are mindless when we struggle to focus, jumping from one task to another and struggling to complete anything well. By learning mindfulness, we can learn to place our awareness where we want it. We can learn to stay focused on a single task. We can learn how our body, mind and heart send us messages all day long, & how interpreting them can help us thrive.

2 How to practice mindfulness after trauma?

Mindfulness can be a useful practice after trauma, though there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It is important to start small and gradually, as well as being gentle and compassionate with yourself. If you are new to mindfulness or have experienced trauma, it can be helpful to seek guidance and support from books, apps, online courses, podcasts, or mindfulness groups. Additionally, professional help from a therapist or counselor who specializes in mindfulness and trauma can provide tailored assistance. When practicing mindfulness, you can start with mindful breathing or a body scan and then extend it to everyday activities such as walking, eating, or listening to music by paying attention to your senses and the present moment.

You may also seek out guidance from a yoga therapist or an experienced yoga teacher who specializes in trauma. Yoga, which mindfulness is a part of, can assist in releasing emotions from the body.

3 How does mindfulness cultivate compassion?

Compassion is the feeling of empathy and care for yourself and others who are suffering. It can reduce the sense of isolation, shame, and blame that often accompany trauma, and increase a sense of connection, acceptance, and forgiveness. Mindfulness can cultivate compassion by helping you recognize and acknowledge your pain and suffering without denying or minimizing it, understand and empathize with it without judging or blaming yourself or others, respond to it with kindness and support instead of avoidance or self-harm, and extend your compassion to others who are suffering by recognizing our common humanity and interdependence.

Two examples of mindfulness and self/other compassion at work. Challenges: Once we navigate a tricky time we are often left better able to empathise with others going through similar challenges. For example a manager may not particularly sympathise with a team member who feels anxious.. But if the manager goes on to experience a period of anxiety, they may become more compassionate to their colleague and the cause in question. Mistakes: We may all have made mistakes at work, but mindfulness can help us grow from them. With every puddle we ourselves step into, we are likely to become less and less judgemental of those who have done the same. We become gentler with ourselves and gentler with the world

4 How does mindfulness cultivate self-care?

Self-care is the act of taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional needs in a way that nourishes and replenishes you. It can help you heal from trauma, restoring balance, safety, and control, while also enhancing your well-being and happiness. Mindfulness can cultivate self-care by helping you become aware of your needs and boundaries; make choices and actions that support your health; manage stress and emotions with mindfulness skills; and appreciate and celebrate your strengths and achievements. By using these techniques, you can honor yourself without guilt or fear, make healthy decisions, cope with difficulties, and express gratitude for what you have.

5 How to integrate mindfulness into your daily life?

Mindfulness is not just a temporary practice, but rather a way of life that can be incorporated into your everyday routine. To make mindfulness a habit, try setting a regular time and place for your practice and using reminders such as alarms, notes, or apps to keep yourself on track. Additionally, select a mindfulness practice that fits your preferences, goals, and needs. It is important to be flexible and adaptable when it comes to your practice so that you can adjust it based on your mood, energy level, schedule, or situation. You can also practice mindfulness in different ways such as sitting, lying down, standing, walking or doing other activities. Lastly, it is essential to be patient and persistent with mindfulness as it may take time and effort to experience the benefits. However, if you keep practicing regularly and consistently you will eventually see the positive effects of mindfulness on your compassion and self-care.
