Increasing workloads, tighter deadlines, fast‐changing and complex
relationships are the major challenges of today's working life! Without
effective tools to deal with the daily pressures, we can succumb to
mental and emotional imbalance, resulting in frustration, distraction
and ill health. It is possible to handle these challenges with clarity,
effectiveness and a calm positive mental attitude. Cultivating mindful
present awareness is a solution. Mindfulness meditation is a mind-body
practice that involves focusing your mind on the present, to become
aware of your thoughts and actions without judgment. Research has shown
that the practice of mindfulness can have many benefits, including
enhancing clarity, concentration, mood, sleep, and immune function, in
addition to reducing stress.
This series introduces participants
to the basic theory and practices of mindfulness. It provides a
community of support for participants to share insight and process the
experience. A commitment to a daily personal practice is necessary to
build longer‐term stability, resiliency and self‐awareness.
