Buddhist and Mindful Psychology
It is a little bit annoying to say the least, as an ordained minister and a Martial Art expert (5th Dan) to have to pander to the western ideas about what mindfulness is! (I’ve trained academically too). I am an ordained minister (multi-faith and humanistic) and am on the FHT Accredited Register under mindfulness. I am a personal practitioner and my 2nd major accreditation was with the NACHP, where the honorary president was a mindfulness within hypnotherapy expert (Yapko).
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is PART of Buddhist, Taoist and Zen based psychology
Multiple Mindfulness certifications
Acceptance
Acceptance is a basic part of the above
Multiple Mindfulness certifications
Compassion
Compassion is a crucial part of the above
Multiple Mindfulness certifications
In real Eastern humanistic tradition: there are 3 stages:
- Self awareness
- Self forgiveness
- Self responsibility
So annoying to KEEP hearing reinvented psychology over and over when it dates back to 4500 BCE!
