Thank you for joining us for our two-part MasterClass series on mindfulness featuring the work of Ellen Langer, Ph.D. and Dan Siegel, M.D. In Part I of this MasterClass, will begin by asking, “What is mindfulness?” Surprisingly, one of the best ways to begin to understand mindfulness is by getting to know its opposite: mindlessness. Under Related Resources, we present a paper by Ellen Langer, Ph.D. on mindlessness and mindfulness as well as the Institute of Coaching’s interview with her.
 
Next, we look at the role of the mind in mindfulness. We invited Dr. Dan Siegel, a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine, Co-Director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center, and Director of the Mindsight Institute, to develop a brief webinar describing the role of the mind in mindfulness. We also include two fascinating articles by Dr. Siegel.

Watch as Ellen Langer, Ph.D,, discusses mindfulness:

Once finished, don't forget about MasterClass: Mindfulness - Practical Applications - Part II.
