练习正念的好处
在当今社会，我们可以参考有关练习正念的好处的研究和证词。 《时代周刊》以神经科学的方式解释了心理波动及其对身体、情绪和心理健康的影响。 诸如Google、Bose、Apple和Goldman Sachs之类的顶级公司在其组织中推广正念练习，以最大程度地提高员工的效率和福祉。 英国、澳大利亚、新西兰和美国的知名大学也在其课程中贯彻正念，特别是在心理学、职业体育和医学领域。
正念教育
Administrators, teachers, students, parents, and staff regularly practice mindfulness at the Green Valley Garden of the American School in Bangkok. Mindfulness fosters a loving environment and cultivates empathy and compassion within the school culture. We teach students to care for and respect their parents and teachers. We train them to be effective leaders who respond well to crises. We want our students to feel that their thoughts and feelings are being heard. We emphasize the following three mindfulness skills:
Mindfulness
A person knows what he or she is thinking. Positive thinking is important for maintaining a healthy mental state. The mind is formed by feelings, perceptions, and experiences. When a person uses the correct techniques to transform negative thoughts into positive ones, that person is considered to be practicing mindfulness.
Mindful Speech
People are aware that they are talking to the right person at the right time. When a person speaks truthfully with positive intentions and avoids saying things that hurt others, that person is considered to be practicing mindful speech.
Mindful Listening
People become aware of the thoughts and feelings of others. When a person listens without speaking, with empathy, listening to what the other person says and feeling what the other person doesn't say, that person is practicing mindful listening.
