Introduction to Mindfulness and Mindfulness Meditation WorkshopFacilitated by Nadina Butler
An old Zen saying suggests, “You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes every day — unless you’re too busy. Then you should sit for an hour."
Each one of us holds the secret to a life well lived! Unlocking this secret, however, can be difficult as we try to maneuver this modern, fast-paced world. Day-to-day challenges can prevent us from discovering an honest compassion for ourselves, those in our lives and for our community. Mindfulness and mindfulness meditation have been proven, both in historical wisdom traditions and in the labs of modern science, as tools to unlock our true potential as loving, caring, sentient beings.
Meditation can offer general health and mental/emotional benefits, including:
• lower blood pressure
• reduced stress
• better sleep
• improved emotional regulation
• increased focus
• enhanced mood
• reduced aggression
• greater adaptability
• healthier aging process
• a greater sense of empathy
In this workshop we will learn the steps to gain a meditative state via breathwork and present moment awareness. Attendees will practice meditation sessions and learn the basic skills to incorporate mindfulness in day to day living.
