Scope

Workshop summary Learn how guided meditation can bring you to a state of calmness and clear focus. Meditation is enjoyable and beneficial to your state of mind. Its benefits can include deep relaxation, clearer thought processes, a feeling of rejuvenation, improved sleep patterns, and assistance in pain management. It’s also very easy! In this workhop you’ll learn how to find a no-more-than-two-minutes-away calm place you can go to internally when feeling stressed. You’ll also enjoy a longer spoken guided meditation to relax you, and anchor this state of calm in your mind so it’s never far from reach. • Please join the webinar at the advertised start time. • Please decide beforehand if you’ll listen at your desk, or some distance from your computer with the volume up, and arrange seating accordingly. Ideally you would sit upright, on a chair or on the floor. But if that’s not comfortable, please lie down with shoulders and head slightly raised, to avoid falling asleep. • Please also have a glass of water to hand for the end. Aims and Objectives • To share what guided meditation is, and how it can assist you. • To help you create a simple, personally tailored technique that you can use to reach a state of focus and relaxation in the workplace when you need to de-stress. • To enjoy a longer guided meditation, providing relaxation and release from worries. Pre-session Requirements No previous experience of meditation is required. On-the-Day Details Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of the workshop, to allow the facilitator to distribute materials.
