There has never been a better time to utilize mindfulness practices in our daily lives. The challenges we have been facing over the last year have created so much uncertainty and anxiety, that the number of people reporting extreme depression and anxiety is 4x higher than before the pandemic. Mindfulness provides us the tools we need to regulate these emotions and improve our mental state. Not only does mindfulness improve mental health, physical health, and over-all wellbeing on a personal level, but organizations benefit greatly as well.

Mindfulness is becoming widely adopted and companies are realizing the great benefits of offering mindfulness in different ways to their employees. However, a lot of people aren’t sure what mindfulness is about, why they should practice it, or where to start.

This session delivers the basics of mindfulness in an easy to understand way and brings to light all of the positive effects mindfulness has to offer. This session includes some basic meditation practices, as well as some mindful breathing and micro practices, which are short, small techniques that can be practiced on-the-go.
