Reduce stress and improve focus with this guided meditation by our own Director of Counseling, Jennifer Levesque, LICSW. Mindfulness exercises can also help with stress reduction, memory, and give you a greater feeling of balance including acceptance of yourself, others, and situations.
You don't need to go somewhere, or hire someone, or chant . . . it's not weird, or new age, or for hippies. Our minds are lost in thought 47% of the time, according to researchers at Harvard University.
Researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center claim mindfulness can change the structure and function of the brain which can:
reduce stress, anxiety, and depression
increase focus and concentration
improve memory and attention span
build greater physical/psychological resilience.
