Mindful Meditation Workshop for Wellness and Calm

Mindfulness is an everyday experience, of being in the moment with awareness and being less reactive. It develops self-awareness and a sense of well-being, so we can be kinder to ourselves and others.Being calmer and kinder to ourselves releases oxytocin hormone, the ‘feel good hormone’. Oxytocin has a calming effect and can reduce our stress and anxiety.Over the four sessions, we will discover some mindfulness techniques to connect with our senses, sights, sounds, and touch. In addition, learn more about the impact of our brain on our thinking and reactions plus develop loving-kindness and gratitude for ourselves and others.Each session typically starts with a topic discussion, mindful exercises and experiences, simple chair exercises, breathing techniques, and guided meditation. There will be some homework tasks to explore and strengthen the learning. Previous attendees have reported improved sleep and an overall improved sense of wellness.You will be seated in a chair and provided with session notes. Just bring yourself and an attitude to learn and experience the benefits of mindfulness and meditation.Course Breakdown:
