Mindfulness - Mindful Awareness Practices ( MAPs)
All participants will attend a virtual 6-week course entitled Mindful Awareness Practices (MAPs) created, hosted and led by expert facilitators from the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA. Participants will learn Mindful concepts and a variety of Mindfulness practices. This intervention will consist of a mix of lecture, practice, group feedback, and discussion regarding mindfulness. Mindfulness is the mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present while acknowledging and accepting any feelings, thoughts, or bodily sensations. MAPs classes meets weekly for two hours per week for six weeks. Participants are encouraged to complete some daily meditation practice starting at five minutes a day and working up to 20 minutes daily by the end of the course.
