Everyday Mindfulness
Description:
In Everyday Mindfulness participants will receive an introduction or a booster to kick start their mindfulness practice. This course incorporates principles and practices of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Mindful Self-Compassion, and Positive Psychology.
We provide guided instruction in various mindfulness practices, including sitting and walking meditation, mindful eating, and mindful communication; meditations tend to be shorter, from 5-20 minutes. These practices are enhanced through inquiry exercises, group dialogue, and daily home practice.
Studies show that regular practice of mindfulness is correlated with:
- Improvement in attention, memory, and emotional regulation
- Increase of compassion for self and others
- Lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms
- An increased ability to manage stress and pain
- Greater energy and enthusiasm for life
