If you have a regular meditation practice, you will gradually develop mindfulness skills. But if you want to speed up the process, to go deeper and wider, here are four methods we call accelerators:

1. Trigger practice
2. Duration training
3. Motion challenge
4. Situational practice

1. Trigger practice

Have you ever reacted faster to a situation than you wish you had? There was a sudden small crisis. The stress hormones washed over your brain. Before you knew it, primitive, unfriendly and imprudent impulses. hijacked your mind, particularly your emotions.

Or maybe you experienced something so pleasant, so comfortable that you lost control and sunk into it unawares.

Then you, like everyone at some time, have fallen prey to triggers.

One solution to triggers is to practice such experiences with attentive presence in a setting where you can control the circumstances. You can then take what you learn in trigger practice into everyday situations.
