Participants in this six-session Mindfulness lunch-hour course will gain a first-hand introduction to mindfulness practices involving breathing, gentle body movements, and methods for incorporating mindfulness practices into their everyday life and work. Published research has shown that mindfulness training is highly effective when combined with conventional medical treatment for many disorders. Thousands of people report that the course helped to reduce symptoms such as chronic pain, headache, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, over-eating, and negative thinking. Participants also report improvement in relationships, vitality, and a greater sense of well-being. To register for one of the Orientations, email Jeanne Joseph Chadwick at mindbody0701@gmail.com.
