Calling it What it Is: the Mindfulness of Feeling Tone

Our behavior may seem unpredictable and uncontrollable to us at times. That comes in part from a lack of awareness and honesty about our initial gut level assessments of how we feel about something. When we bring Mindfulness to how we are registering our feeling towards the moment, we gain clarity on our subsequent thoughts and behaviors; this allows room for change and growth. In this episode, Dr. Rupp will discuss the concept of ‘Feeling Tone’ as a useful Mindfulness tool for staying with and accepting the moments of our lives thus decreasing our stress and reactivity. This session includes teachings from Heather, self-inquiry exercises, and meditation.

Quotes:

“Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience. It isn’t more complicated than that. It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it.” ~Sylvia Boorstein

“Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).” ~James Baraz

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power and freedom to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our  happiness.” Victor Frankl
