- Understand how and why meditation works – the science,
research and exciting evidence behind it - Practice a group meditation and experience what can be
gained from meditation practice

Breathe In, Breathe Out – Relaxation and Stress Reduction!
Thursday, December 3rd, 2015
We will explore the deleterious effects of the stress response on one’s health and the clinical benefits of relaxation, including decreased pain, anxiety, improved immune system function, and improved sleep and creativity! Employees will be introduced to a myriad of relaxation techniques with the goal of reducing stress and increasing calm and productivity in the workplace and at home. This workshop will be interactive and experiential; teaching imbued with demonstration and feedback.
Three forms of Meditation are introduced:
1. Mindful Breathing Meditation– This will include attention to the breath: awareness, and the energy of bringing attention over and over to the breath: concentration.
2. Progressive Muscle Relaxation or Body Scan– This practice helps the employee identify subtle levels of mental tension and anxiety, and the physical tension that accompanies these mental/emotional states. It is particularly effective for employees with asthma, insomnia, headaches, colitis, and hypertension.
3. Loving Kindness Meditation– This teaches the employee to follow his or her breath, and focus on intention of cultivating compassion for self and others.
After this workshop your employees will be more relaxed and breathing easier!
