MINDFULNESS MEDITATION

Vipassana or mindfulness meditation classes are offered either in group or private sessions.  The term Vipassana comes from the Sanskrit vi, meaning “intense” or “powerful,” and passana, meaning “seeing.”  It involves paying attention to the present moment, deliberately and nonjudgmentally and cultivating an attitude of unconditional presence in the moment.  There have been more than 1,500 studies conducted on the effect of mindfulness meditation, and it has been found to be beneficial for boosting the immune system, managing pain, decreasing blood pressure and heart rate, improving the quality of sleep, increasing energy levels, sharpening mental function, elevating and stabilizing mood, improving relationships and increasing resilience.
