EDT-5200: Awareness Body Mind Heart; Path to Chg

Buddhist thought and practice encompass the body, mind and heart as a focus for learning, understanding and action. Most recently, research studies in neuroscience have shown the explicit and visible (through FMRI) relationship between body, mind, heart and brain function. In this course, participants will examine some of the most recent studies in neuroscience and their applications to teaching, learning, and one’s particular educational context. There will be equal emphasis on application and reflection within one’s educational context and the ongoing development of mindfulness meditation practice and personal daily life mindfulness practices. Of the three courses in the Certificate Program, this one will highlight the scientific nature of mindfulness practice and how it is possible to see, apply, verify, or modify based on the first-order data received through the body, mind, heart and brain change process that is every human being. In the final online discussion and submissions, Participants will shape and define the pathways to change that they intend to explore or deepen in order to lead toward greater freedom and joy in their educational contexts and at the heart of teaching and learning.
