We all experience stress in our day to day life but are given few resources to cope with it. The strain placed on our bodies often triggers or worsens the symptoms of health conditions and reduces our ability to be effective at work and enjoy life. The common ways to address these problems, exercise and medication, do help. However, exercise alone is often not sufficient. Additionally, many prefer to avoid medications that only treat the symptoms rather than the underlying causes of stress and add chemicals to our bodies.
Introduction to Mindfulness: Simple & Natural Stress Management
In this course you will learn about cutting edge advances in neuroscience and practical ways to use this knowledge about your brain and nervous system to train it for 
health. In the same way a personal trainer teaches you how to train your muscles or a physical therapist gives you exercises to heal muscles and bones, this seminar will teach you how to train your nervous system. You can feel calm and peaceful as well as energized and alert rather than anxious, stressed, drained, and exhausted.
This innovative approach to stress offers simple, daily practices that help you to maintain an inner tranquility that is not easily affected by outside circumstances or pressures. You will learn various meditation techniques that are often mentioned in the news today. However, jumping right in to sitting 20-45 minutes a day is difficult for many. So each session will also offer simple & practical techniques and strategies that can be applied right away.
Come, relax, breath, and learn ways to work peace into your day and enjoy life more fully moment by moment.
