Living Mindfully: Tuesdays 6:30-7:30pm (Starts 10/1/19)
Course Description
Mindfulness is the act of paying attention to what is happening right here and right now, and observing in an even-minded, nonjudgmental way. Living Mindfully means being fully present in each moment. By practicing Mindful Meditation, we access the present moment of stillness in order to be more fully present in our daily lives. Living Mindfully can help enhance our focus, reduce stress, and connect us to our lives in a deeper way. This session will focus on breathing and awareness techniques, guided meditations, and mindful living tools. Bring a journal and pen.
