The practice of meditation is perhaps the oldest stress management technique known to human kind. Mindfulness Meditation is widely used as a means to increase focus of attention in the present moment thus allowing our innate calmness and clarity of mind to come forth. This is a great aid in responding skillfully to the stressors in our lives. Historically, Mindfulness Meditation is based upon Four Foundations: Mindfulness of body, feelings, mind and mind objects. In our four sessions together, with the help of guided meditations and discussion, we will be learning about and practicing each of these foundations of mindfulness.
