Christ- Centered Mindfulness
All human beings regardless of their status in life or ethnicity, experience a whole range of very powerful emotions that can be difficult to regulate. This study attempts to provide a biblical, liberating and practical approach to understanding our emotions and our responsibility for them by becoming a Christ-Centered mindful person, more aware of how emotions are at work inside us by developing compassion and by learning to develop compassionate ways of relating to ourselves and to other people.
it suggests that using the Compassionate Mind Approach is the most effective solution to “deactivate” the individual’s threat system-soothe anger and anxiety and all other threat emotions and can help us have the courage to face these difficult emotions, tolerate them and effectively deal with them leading to a healthier, happier life.
