Varieties of mindfulness for creative OR practice José-Rodrigo Córdoba-Pachón j.r.cordoba-pachon@rhul.ac.uk

My aim and agenda Aim: Understand how we as OR practitioners experience our practice from two perspectives or varieties of mindfulness Agenda: Bit of context Mindfulness as it is now Two varieties Some techniques Reflections

Bit of context The age of complacency (we witness things but are not able/willing to do anything about them) (Puett and Gross-Loh, 2016) More anxiety, information, depression and unhappiness problems despite material success (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990) Concern with well-being and quality of life overall and in specific groups in society (the elderly, mentally or chronically ill). Myself: Explore more fully human experience as a systemic effort to bring improvement (Córdoba-Pachón, 2011).

Mindfulness – a first glimpse Being in the present-as-it-is, with body and mind together (Kabat Zinn 1990,2012)  to be in touch with ourselves/ the world around us. Contrast with mindlessness (Langer,2014) and in tune with the ‘reverse’ principle (Watts,1951): The more you try to get rid of ‘uncertainty’, the more it shows up. Or with living in automatic pilot mode (Williams et al, 2007). Synonyms: Awareness. heartfulness, understanding, acceptance, presence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSsAEWkmBFU

Mindfulness – as I see it nowadays Western Eastern Therapy, mindful living Williams, Kabat Zinn Buddhism Cognition Langer Embodiment Varela Flow Csizkszentmihalyi Awakening (De Mello) Meditation, experiences

Two varieties of mindfulness Therapeutic Cognitive New and sustained experiences (mind, body) Individual/collective enquiry Disciplined practice Reframing of categories (contexts, mindsets, assumptions, identities) Openness to new information Variability, conditionality Welcoming new perspectives Enquiry…? Greater awareness +choices/ Empowerment

Techniques - minipractices Listening to yourself 3 step breathing Mindful experience

Listening to yourself 1st scene: Wanda, lying on the floor of the bathroom naked, dead in a big splash of water, broken glass, window open, door locked and not forced… What happened? Identify your categories (mindsets, assumptions, context, identities) Try something new: reframing, open to new information that does not ‘fit’, consider alternative perspectives, process over content (output)

Three step breathing Step 1: Settle down, notice your thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Step 2: Focus on your breath, (in/out). If thoughts come acknowledge them and gently invite the mind back to the breathing. Step3:Expand your attention to the whole of your body. Decide how to reconnect to the present. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSsAEWkmBFU

Mindful experience Use all your senses (eyesight, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting). If possible, register your thoughts. body sensations

A final question Do you consider yourself an artist or a scientist?
