Relational mindfulness practice: the 'hot seat' form
We
can practice mindfulness not only in solitary meditation but also in
interactions with other people. One form for doing this we call 'hot
seats'' a simple interactive exercise in which we practice giving
attention to another and receiving attention from others. In so doing,
we can both develop concentration, as in solitary meditation, as well
as cultivate open inquiry into our own and other's experience. The
exercise is rooted in curiosity, not manipulation or coercion, much
like the approach we take generally in practicing mindfulness. The
Friday night sessions offer an introduction to this exercise, they are
'drop-in' (meaning regular attendance is not required), and simply
coming to check it out is fine to do.
