Mindfulness (Attention & Awareness) Practices

One of the greatest challenges individuals face today is keeping up with the high pace of life. Whether that is work-related or family, social, or life in general, finding the resources for mitigating with stress is getting more and more difficult. Science has shown the positive effect of mindfulness practices on the mental, psychological and emotional states. The practices of attention and awareness have shown to positively support individuals suffering from various temporary symptoms –such as fatigue, attention deficit, clarity in thought processing, regulation of emotions, anxiety, stress, temperament, and burnout. So with this program we aim at bringing awareness on the effects of mindfulness -attention and awareness, practices on personal performance, well-being, and general states of being.
