A POSTURA MENTAL DO MEDIADOR: REPENSANDO A PROPOSTA LAICA DE MINDFULNESS E CONHECENDO O CAMINHO DO DHAMMA

Abstract

The role of the mediator, as someone responsible for properly conducting the mediation and correctly managing the emotions of the mediated, requires a mental posture and self-awareness that provide the necessary conditions for an excellent reflexivity. Meditative practices and attention training, such as Mindfulness or “Atenção Plena”, have become popular and gained space in therapeutic interventions in recent decades, being incorporated as a technique and applied to conflict resolution professionals. In this research, we sought to explore the origins of the construct inside and outside the scientific literature, its formulation and practical function, as well as the benefits it would provide. Mindfulness in mediation, even if secular, relates directly to the Buddhist view, thus through an introduction to the Buddha's Dhamma, its approach and fundamental factors were investigated, pointing out possible paths through theoretical and practical knowledge of the teachings to effectively develop a reflexivity education consistent with mediation.
