 Mindfulness, the practice of moment-to-moment awareness,
is the ability to purposefully pay attention to things we ordinarily never give a
moment's thought to. It is a way of paying attention to everyday activities and
interactions, and a way of looking deeply into oneself in the spirit of self-inquiry, selfunderstanding,
and enlightenment.
In this experiential and highly interactive program, you will learn a variety of
effective techniques—practical methods, meditations, exercises, gentle yoga positions,
and other activities that you can apply to daily living. According to best-selling
author and teacher Lama Surya Das, "Mindful living is renowned as an extraordinary
way of loving and more fully accepting ourselves. By the practice of "presencing"—
cultivating mindful awareness and lucid presence of mind, both in formal meditation
and daily life—we enable ourselves to live more fully and truly inhabit each and every
moment. One moment of total awareness is one moment of freedom and enlightenment."
Learn how integrating mindfulness as a daily
practice can be used to:
- Consciously direct our awareness and eliminate negative
self-talk and mental clutter
- Increase focus and attention in the workplace
- Enhance compassion, empathy, and presence in all
relationships
- Improve your ability to perceive, understand, and manage
your emotions and your reactions to people and situations
- Enrich everyday activities such as eating, walking, and
meditating
- Decrease physical and emotional stress and increase your
ability to relax

of materiality, it may be controlled—the emotions
thereof—by the mind. And the mind may be
directed by spirit.”
