The meditation and imagery practices presented in this program are taught within a contemplative education framework. Healthcare professionals may find these practices applicable within their scope of practice, including clinical settings, when delivered by appropriately trained and licensed practitioners. This program provides educational instruction in guided meditation techniques; it does not constitute clinical training in psychotherapy, replace supervised professional education, or authorize participants to provide mental health treatment outside their existing scope of licensure. Healthcare professionals are responsible for determining appropriate integration of program content within their scope of practice, clinical training, and applicable ethical guidelines.

Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals

At the end of the program, you will be better able to:

1. Describe a breath-focused mindfulness practice (e.g., “Ah Breath”) and explain how breath-based attention is used to cultivate attentional stability and present-moment awareness.
2. Describe core elements used in evidence-based guided meditation and imagery practices (e.g., pacing, tracking present-moment experience, and responsively offering suggestions) as applied in contemplative and educational settings.
3. Describe a guided imagery practice that can be introduced to support relaxation.
4. Describe a guided imagery practice that can be introduced to support comfort and coping when individuals experience physical discomfort.
5. Describe a symbolic imagery practice and explain how symbolic imagery can be used within contemplative practices as a means of experiential reflection and inquiry.
6. Identify distinctions between contemplative guided meditation practices and evidence-based psychological interventions, including scope of practice, ethical boundaries, and professional responsibility considerations.
