Program includes four basic practices: breathing meditation, walking meditation, body scan, and mindful movement. Consciously focusing on what is happening allows people to observe and accept what they are experiencing in their bodies, minds, and the world around them at that moment. Mindfulness practices are an 8-week practice consisting of 2-2.5 hour sessions per week by a trained instructor, mindfulness meditation practices, yoga practices, examining the psychological and physiological aspects of stress, and recently including the concept of self-compassion. In addition, daily practices are given to participants, and a suitable day is determined as a retreat day. The aim is to enable individuals to reveal and experience their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations and to increase emotional tolerance by revealing avoidance behaviors. Individuals learn to return to and accept intense bodily sensations and emotional discomfort with mindfulness.
