What is Mindfulness Meditation?
Mindfulness means to pay attention and accept each moment as is without preference or judgment. In this 30 day online workshop, we’ll explore the basics of meditation and mindfulness practice, which can provide you with a better way of living and being – one in which you’re aware of your thoughts and responses, as opposed to going through life on autopilot. Consider mindfulness meditation as training for the brain.
Mindfulness meditation can help:
- Decrease adverse physical and psychological symptoms
- Increase your ability to cope with stressful situations
- Increase resiliency and the ability to be responsive instead of reactive
- Increase energy and enthusiasm for life
- Improve your ability to cope with pain and manage negative emotions
