Mindfulness at Ramapo College

FREE INTRODUCTION TO MINDFULNESS WORKSHOP

Anisfield School of Business Room 420 505 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, United States

Mindfulness is a purposeful way of focusing attention in the present moment. It promotes a presence in the here and now that is often lost in today’s fast paced society. Research indicates that mindfulness practices decrease anxiety and stress while enhancing the ability to concentrate and pay attention. The physical and psychological benefits have been well documented.

This free introductory session will briefly review the meaning and benefits of mindfulness practices, and then present an experiential introduction to breath-based meditation practice. Suggestions will be offered on how to integrate a simple, but effective, mindfulness practice into one’s everyday life. Wear comfortable clothing.
