Cultivate more calm by starting a meditation practice with us
It’s inevitable to experience stressful moments throughout the day, but it’s how we deal with stressful moments that may be most important. From traffic and technology to work and relationships, there is a never-ending list of stressors that bombard most of us on a daily basis. A calming meditation can be incredibly helpful.
The idea of letting go of stress entirely can seem idealistic to many, but the truth is when it’s done with a conscious effort, it’s entirely possible to regain control over your thought processes. Our MBSR course includes 8 weekly sessions to help develop awareness of stress and learning how to reframe negative emotions. The course includes body scans and visualizations to truly get to the root of stress that manifests in the body, and then visualize what your days look like without the added weight of stress and anxiety.
Be kind to your mind today and every day.
