The document summarizes Cristina Aguilera Buckley's presentation at the 48th Annual PSI Conference on her Mindfulnessnoa model. The model is based on mindfulness, neurobiology, and other techniques to help participants transition through four stages - from a safe place inward, then addressing past traumas, a creative processing stage, and finally outward communication and integration. The presentation includes descriptions of the model stages, a standard protocol used in sessions, and references mindfulness and sensory-based exercises to help guide participants through personal and collective transitions.

16. Moments by Jorge L Borges
If I could live my life again
Next time I would try to make more mistakes
I would not try to be so perfect
I would relax more
I would be sillier than I was
In fact, I would take very few things seriously
I would be less hygienic
I would take more risks
I would take more trips
I’d watch more sunsets
I’d climb more mountains
I’d swim more rivers
I’d go to more places – I’ve never been
I’d have more real problems – and less imaginary ones
I was one of those people who live prudent and prolific lives – each minute of his life
I was one of those who never goes anywhere without a thermometer
without a hot-water bottle
and without an umbrella and without a parachute
If I could live again – I will travel light
If I could live again – I’ll try to work bare feet at the beginning of spring until the end of autumn
I’ll ride more carts
I’ll watch more sunrises and play with more children
If I have the life to live – but now I am 85
and I know that I am dying

17. Love After Love Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
12/5/2018
