Wat zijn de 5 R's van mindfulness?

This is where the 5 R’s of meditation come in. They’re a practical way to handle distractions, build focus, and deepen your practice. The 5 R’s of meditation--Recognize, Release, Relax, Return, Repeat—are a simple, effective way to manage the natural ups and downs of practice. The first R is Recognize. This is the moment you notice your mind has wandered. This simple act of recognition is mindfulness in action. Next comes Release. Once you notice the thought, let it go. Just release it like you’re letting go of a balloon. After you’ve released the thought, take a moment to Relax. Let your mind and body soften. Now it’s time to Return your focus to your anchor—usually your breath, a mantra, or bodily sensation. This is the core of the meditation cycle: coming back to the present. Finally, Repeat. Each time it does, you cycle through the 5 R’s again: Recognize the distraction, Release the thought, Relax the body, Return to the breath, Repeat as needed.
