Mindfulness Workshops in New York, NY

Learn how to make Mindfulness-Based Therapy a Regular Part of Your Self-Care Routine

We continuously hear the same thing from friends, clients, and family: I want to practice mindfulness and mediation but I can't seem to get myself to do it!

That's why we are offering a 4-session Mindfulness Support Group and Mediation workshop this February that will help you get started and keep going.

Our Mindfulness workshop in New York, NY will offer:

•  A Mindfulness practice led by one of our wonderful mindfulness therapists via online therapy in New York.

• Discussion following the online therapist-led practice addressing what worked, what didn't, and what will get you to practice outside the mindfulness support group

• Specific Mindfulness and Meditation tracks you can keep and use at any time

• Weekly worksheets to get you to prioritize your self-care and Meditation practice at home.

Our goal is for you to have both daily and weekly strategies and activities to help you find your balance and manage your stress!

“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.”

- Jon Kabat-Zinn

The term Mindfulness pops up everywhere today and for good reason.

Mindfulness is a natural way to manage intrusive thoughts that come with anxiety and depression, and general stress.

Most of us spend the majority of our day on autopilot, moving from task to task without taking time to “check-in” with ourselves. Mindfulness is a practice of reconnecting with all of our senses and giving us more control over both our physical and emotional reactions to stressors.

Regular mindfulness practice has been shown to:

• Increase patience with yourself and others

• Improve coping skills for managing stress

• Strengthen a sense of self-compassion

• Increase creativity and curiosity

• Lower blood pressure

Try this brief Mindfulness exercise right now! - it takes 2 minutes

1. Stand up from your chair and move to a comfortable quiet spot in your home

2. Set a timer for 2 minutes

3. Take this time to:

   1. Observe how your body feels in your seat - are you tense? relaxed? comfortable?

   2. Note what you are hearing and smelling around you. Neighbors? Coffee? Nothing?

   3. Letting your eyes relax, what do you see? Pictures? Books? Colors?

4. Let your outside thoughts come and go, gently returning to your observation of the present if you get pulled away but another thought.

And That's it! You just started your Mindfulness practice!
