The Benefits of Mindful Living
The 6-week Mindful Living Program involves the practice of mindfulness meditations, experiential exercises, group discussions, and home practices. Each session explores one theme so that participants can focus on one topic at a time to acquire skills to bring mindfulness into their daily lives.
The benefits include managing intense emotions, calming the mind, and living in the present moment. Additionally, meditation helps individuals better cope with anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, anger and chronic pain, as well as improve interpersonal relationships.
Bringing mindfulness into our daily lives helps us turn negative emotions such as frustration, impatience, and anger around and allows us to live a happier, more peaceful, energized, and enthusiastic life.
Participants of the Mindful living Program will learn:
- Meditation techniques to reduce tension and stress during these difficult times
- How to quiet racing thoughts and worrying mind
- How to become more patient, tolerant and focused
