I developed a 8-week program based on Mindfulness and the concept of Chakras (system of energy centers). This program consists of eight 45- minute classes given weekly to cope with stress and anxiety. It is not a boring program, I promise you!

1st week – Explain the nature of the human mind. Introduce the concept of doing mode and being mode of the mind and how they interact. Bring awareness to the breath and the body. Teach different techniques to be aware of the present moment. Explain the relationship between mind and body. Explain how our thoughts influence the physical body and vice-versa. Work on the Body Mindfulness Meditation as well as on the body sensations.

2nd week – Introduce the notion of the human energy field and its main seven centers – chakras. Explain the nature of the thoughts and emotions and how they are interwoven. Become aware of how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors. Also, explain how emotions and feelings affect the thoughts and the body. Introduce the concept of the Root Chakra.

3rd week – Explain the holistic view of the human body. Focus on body movement and introduce walking meditation. Make your daily tasks an opportunity to be mindful (mindfulness of daily routine). Introduce the concept of Sacral Chakra.

4th week – Bring awareness to the environment you live in. Connecting more mindfully with the world around you. Sound Meditation and Color Meditation. Introduce the concept of Solar Plexus Chakra.

5th week – Explain the non-linear concept of time and space. Encountering painful memories from the past in a mindful way, working on forgiveness. Introduce the concept of Heart Chakra.

6th week – Reevaluate the mindfulness meditation process. Work with frustrations by introducing the attribute of acceptance. Becoming aware of the personal speech; i.e., being mindful of the words you choose to speak to yourself (inner dialogue) and others. Introduce the notion of the Throat Chakra.

7th week – Explain the concept of intuition and attention and their role in our everyday lives. Become aware of mood swings and inner motivation. Practicing Mindfulness Meditation to lower anxiety. Introduce the concept of the  Third Eye Chakra.

8th week – Deepening the exploration of the inner dialogue. Dealing with self-criticism and bringing the future to the present by focusing on the breath. Become aware of your true nature and potential. Introduce the notion of the Crown Chakra. You are more than your physical body, sensations, thoughts, emotions, and intuition. You are “total” being in constant change. You are complete, however, unfinished because you are constantly evolving.
