Mindfulness, practiced since ancient times, reflects the art of engaging in intentional and non-judgmental awareness of each moment-by-moment experience. While previously considered an “alternative” approach to health and wellness, current research supports the use of mindfulness as a pathway to physical and psychological healing. In this presentation, you will:
- Gain an understanding regarding the origins and use of mindfulness practices.
- Appreciate the array of mindfulness practices in modern society (e.g. yoga, tai chi, mindfulness meditation).
- Learn the potential physical and emotional benefits of mindfulness and mindfulness practice in everyday life.
- Experience the impact of mindfulness via an experiential exercise.
