The Miami Herald carried an article this morning on mindfulness. "Calming your thoughts through mindfulness" includes a video of, and many quotes from, Florida attorney Scott Rogers. Through his Institute for Mindfulness Studies, Rogers offers Continuing Legal Education programs in mindfulness for lawyers. His next program is November 15 in Miami Beach.
As I have said before, your mindfulness is in your client's best interests. From the article:
Mindfulness is built around the premise of disengaging from overly emotional responses and extraneous thoughts that clutter the mind's ability to think clearly. By using techniques such as breathing, visual imagery and meditation to slow down and focus on the present, the theory goes, a person can tap into a higher level of awareness. The more acute awareness is the byproduct of more active brain waves brought on by meditation, studies have shown.
Simply put, it's going from worrier to warrior, says Rogers, 45, a lawyer who conducts seminars for other lawyers and school groups.
''We want to move into a place where the outside world will do whatever it's going to do without us going through the roller coaster of emotions,'' Rogers says. ``We want to maintain this more alive, vigilant, present way of being that is somewhat independent of how things are going.''
