Mindfulness meditation : why and what for ? A meditative workshop on the theme of mental load and stress.
The stimulating Professional Development workshop of March 20th at the Hôtel de l'Industrie brought together more than twenty PWN members, happy to discover and discuss meditation in a safe and convivial environment thanks to Christine Barois' expert and caring facilitation.
The theme chosen for this workshop was that of personal effectiveness through mindfulness meditation : Meditation : Why and what for ? A meditative workshop on the theme of mental load and stress.
It focused on :
But why meditate?
By concentrating one’s attention, through conscious breathing exercises and a focus on the present moment, meditation can strongly influence the course of our lives: if we are more concentrated, more efficient, more attentive, more creative, more serene, we are so much more likely to live a more satisfying life.
Mindfulness meditation is akin to behavioural medicine, whose positive and scientifically proven effects on health, attention, memory, productivity and stress management are known and acknowledged.
A regular practice of meditation converts agitation and stress into calm, obsession into contentment, and hatred and anger into benevolence.
The numerous benefits over time of regular meditation :
Less stress :
Improved health :
A better quality of life at work:
Thank-you to all PWN participants for their focus, active and enthusiastic participation.
And thank you to Christine for the very encouraging and thought provoking workshop.
We look forward to seeing you all again soon !
