Episode 1 – A New Model of Mindfulness – The Captain, Medic and Cheerleader
In this first installment, I provide a 12 point introduction to a wonderful set of mindfulness metaphors, in which compare the task of living a human life to the complex task of sailing a ship on the open ocean. The ship in this metaphor is You, and represents the reality that you wake up in your life (on your boat) every morning. The external conditions such as the seas and the weather in the little model, are the life circumstances that you find yourself navigating from one day to the next. Now…. Isn’t it true that even if you wished you had a different boat and/or were sailing different waters? Yet nothing will change that you are on the boat you are on, and sail it you must, with the crew you have, with as much kindness and wisdom as you can muster? ….. And yet how to do that?
