Describe your experience practicing this technique and how this experience influences your choice on whether to use it with a client during practice.

This was a very interesting exercise for me because my mind is always constantly running as fast as a roadrunner. I completed a few of the mindfulness exercises. The first exercise was very difficult. I was unable to stay focused on the voice and the instructions. I could keep my eyes close only for about a second before it was open, looking around, and checking my surroundings. My mind then began thinking about my assignments, and creating a to-do list for household chores, in between I created a to-do list for work, and then I started thinking about what I was going to cook for dinner. After about three attempts, I finally was able to relax (a little) and follow the vocal instructions. When I did, I felt my shoulders and neck relax. My body felt as if the feelings of heaviness were slowly drifting away. I followed the instructions to listen to my surroundings when I did my mind started asking all sorts of questions and developing scenarios as to why the sounds are the way they are, why they are intermittent, etc. I noticed the loudness of the ac unit, and that the printer makes weird noses ever so often. I could even hear crickets outside (over the loud ac unit). After completing the exercise, I felt relaxed and more in tune with my body and my surroundings. I completed the Body Scan Meditation, Body and Sound Meditation, and Breathing Mediation (UCLA Health, n.d.).

When I was able to truly focus on the mindfulness activity it did provide a sense of relaxation and calmness. These are all behaviors we would love for our clients to experience especially during high-stress periods. The mindfulness-based intervention has proven to be successful with adults and research has expanded on how effective it is with children and adolescents. Based on a recent study, mindfulness-based intervention outside of the school setting proved to decrease stress and increased optimism (Carreres[1]Ponsoda, Escartí, Llopis-Goig, & Cortell-Tormo. (2017).
