Guided Mediation Programs for Businesses and Organizations
Ready for a quantum leap from business as usual??!
“Companies like Google, Apple and 3M make sure employees have time for silence and relaxation…they know that’s how you create the conditions for flashes of brilliance.” Ode (Spring 2011)
Notice how often you find yourself “commiserating” with colleagues in the workplace? We tell ourselves that this makes us feel better, or that we just need to vent…but notice how this tends to anchor feelings of anxiety, depression, and general unease?
Instead, what if you and your co-workers spent a few minutes doing something that would:
- decrease the impacts of stress
- increase creativity and problem solving
- help to relax under pressure
- increase focus and concentration
- strengthen your immune system
- increase memory
- help to handle conflict
- increase happiness
Your employees can access these benefits through an affordable program of weekly guided meditations offered at your location.
Once a week (or more if you wish) a group of 5 or more people may gather for a 10-15 minute mindfulness practice session, facilitated by Gwen Garcelon. Gwen has 10 years of experience in helping people from all walks of life enjoy the extraordinary benefits of meditation.
Here’s what some of the latest research shows:
“When you meditate you stimulate and therefore strengthen the part of your brain that deals with increasing positive emotions and regulating negative emotions.” – Dr. Rick Hanson, PhD, neuropsychologist
“Workers on average spend just 11 minutes on a project before switching to another and, while focusing on a project, typically change tasks every 3 minutes, …research shows…Once distracted we take about 25 minutes to return to an interrupted task and usually plunge into two other projects in the interim.” Utne (March-April 2010.)
“A study from researchers with the Shamatha project concluded that meditation improves general social and emotional functioning, making study participants less anxious, and more aware of and better able to manage their emotions.” New Scientist (January 2011)
“Stress costs businesses in the U.S. $300 million a year due to sick days and lost productivity.” Ode (Spring 2011)
