Mindfulness in Action: The Three-Minute Breathing Space

In this presentation, Tina Runyan, Ph.D., explains a core technique of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT): the three-minute breathing space, a technique designed to embrace the present with compassion. Dr. Runyan shares a step-by-step guide to applying this exercise in your clinical practice. And you’ll have the opportunity to experience it as if you were part of an MBCT group.
Here are the most important highlights from the video:
* The three-minute breathing space offers a structured pause for empowering mindful choices.
* The technique encompasses mental, emotional, and physical check-ins, anchored by focused breathing.
* While meditation is a core component of MBCT, the ultimate aim is to apply these skills in everyday life, to foster more skillful, grounded responses to internal and external stimuli.
