Life Is Busy. Mindfulness Can Help.
Not many of us can escape the demands of work, caregiving, pressures at school or our fast-paced culture. The inherent stress of our lifestyle, expectations and responsibilities can take a toll on our health and emotional well-being. We can find ourselves overwhelmed, sleep-deprived and anxious trying to keep up. Mindfulness meditation is a proven way to help reduce stress, improve focus, restore balance and enhance well-being.

What Is Mindfulness Meditation?
Mindfulness is the ability to sustain attention to what is happening in the present moment without judgement. Simple, but not easy. You may have noticed that your mind is constantly running with thoughts. It's estimated that we have 60,000 to 70,000 thousand thoughts per day - that's about 48 thoughts per waking minute! And, according to a recent study published by Harvard University, we are only aware of what we are thinking about half of the time.
Mindfulness, and the practice of meditation, helps us cultivate the ability to become still, notice our thoughts and create space. In this space we may find greater peace, calm and clarity and a renewed experience of the present moment.

How Does Mindfulness Help?
Mindfulness is proven to help manage stress by actually altering how our brains react to stress.
Nearly three decades of scientific research has proven the benefits of mindfulness to not only reduce chronic pain and boost the immune system, but also improve symptoms of anxiety and depression; promote well-being and reduce emotional reactivity; increase attention and focus and enhance areas of the brain responsible for decision-making, creativity, flexibility and empathy. Mindfulness meditation has even been shown to slow down the aging process in the brain.

Who Can Benefit from Mindfulness?
Mindfulness training is beneficial at any age and stage of life. From school age children to seniors and everyone in between, given its many proven benefits, it's not surprising to find mindfulness training in schools, work environments, hospitals and community centers.

What People Are Saying....

"I’ve meditated 15 minutes each day since I went to the 4-week Mindfulness Foundations Course. I was very anxious and scattered all the time and learning meditation practice changed all that. Building meditation into my daily routine is one of the best things I've done for myself. The subject matter is great, and Angela Tarquini Sanders is a great instructor. Along with learning how to meditate, the course was full of tips, tricks and theories that provided hard tools for stepping back and renewing and refreshing my view of life." See more Reviews

After taking Angela’s mindfulness class, I will absolutely be referring clients. Angela is a walking embodiment of how mindfulness and meditation promote health and mental well-being. Angela creates a non-threatening and genuinely welcoming learning environment. She provides her students with the tools and foundation for a life-time of meditation that will inevitably lead to lower stress and anxiety levels and more mindful living!" See more Reviews
