Course Overview

What is Mindfulness?

Dr. Dan Siegel describes mindfulness as the practice of paying attention in a particular way, specifically being “aware of moment-to-moment experience
non-judgmentally.” This involves maintaining a keen awareness of thoughts, feelings, and sensations as they unfold. Dr. Siegel emphasizes the relational quality of mindfulness—it not only refers to internal awareness, but also to our interactions with the external world. Often characterized as a state of mental presence, the practice of mindfulness can have profound effects on our physiological processes and our overall well-being.

What is Mindsight?

Dr. Dan Siegel defines mindsight as the ability to perceive and understand not only one’s own internal mental states, but also the internal mental states of others. The term encompasses three core aspects: insights into oneself, empathy towards others’ thoughts and feelings, and integration, which involves connecting and harmonizing these internal experiences with kindness and compassion. With the power of mindsight, we can enhance our self-awareness, improve our interpersonal relationships, and deepen our empathetic connections with those around us.

Student Testimonials

"After exploring Dr. Siegel's models, such as the Wheel of Awareness and the Hand Model of the Brain, I realized that taking an entire course would help me fully comprehend those theories and go even deeper. The framework of Interpersonal [Neurobiology] helps us better understand the mind, the brain, the body, and [our] connections with others, and it even goes beyond, so we can finally see the whole elephant! I highly recommend [Dan's work] to anyone who desires a comprehensive approach that can provide a holistic understanding of humanity."
