Isometrics and Mindfulness

Postby Patrick on Sun Oct 22, 2017 11:16 am

Hello,

another blog post of mine on Isometrics and Mindfulness.

I am very fond of the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. If you never heard of him and his work, I would reason he extracted the practical aspects of Buddhism and provided a modern theoretical foundation that incorporates scientific evidence. His work centres around the practice and cultivation of “mindfulness”. It is defined as:

“Paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally”

This way of being can in a way enrich our life as it has a profound effect on our parasympathetic nervous system.

Nice one, I'll give it a read. I've been delving into vipassana and yoga recently so this should resonate with me!

Interesting. What is your goal with this kind of practice?

I know I'm never more mindful of what I'm doing than when I'm squatting down with a weight I'm not sure I can stand back up with.
