Each theme presents a basic message.

The B theme introduces mindfulness as a special way of paying attention. Specifically, we start by paying attention to the Body.

The R theme unpacks mindful attention to thoughts and

the E theme does the same with respect to emotions,

The A theme illustrates how paying attention to the body, thoughts and feelings is good stress management.

The T theme helps us train mind and heart in the practice of healthy mind habits, like gratitude and compassion, and the H theme offers a discussion of how to bring mindfulness into our lives.

Notice the focus on cultivating curious, openhearted attention to all aspects of our experience. Notice, as well, how the themes build upon each other.

In L2B, we use the word theme instead of lesson for each of these because a theme may be introduced over several lessons, depending upon time and need.
