We all learned behaviours in childhood we thought we needed in order to cope. These are schema modes. In this guided meditation, we will take a look at our modes, seeing how they made sense at a certain time. And we'll explore who we are without them. For this practice, you are invited to bring a pen and paper to record any insights that might arise.

The goal of this meditation is to get a felt sense of what different attachment styles feel like. Each of the insecure styles operates with false beliefs at its core; in this meditation, we'll get to know them as a way to better understand our own patterns and those of our loved ones. Finally, we will spend time reflecting on the qualities of secure attachment.

This meditation offers a way to examine thought patterns in light of Liotti's metacognitive factors. Metacognition, also called mentalization (or "thinking about thinking") is the ability to understand your own thoughts. Liotti's six factors for this skill are identification (mindfulness), relating variables, differentiation, integration, decentration (adopting the perspectives of others), mastery (over your mental states).
This meditation invites us to reflect on the qualities of Bernstein's Healthy Adult Mode and see how we can embody them. We will also examine any schemas or modes (negative beliefs or coping behaviors) that take us out of the Healthy Adult Mode, seeing how they made sense at one time, but are no longer needed.

Schema modes are emotional states and coping strategies that we all use. Below is an exploration of how attachment styles exhibit or inhibit different modes. By bringing different modes to mind, we can understand their roles in our lives. Examining them in the light of mindfulness, we can begin to choose whether or not to act on them.
