MINDFULNESS |
Calendar of Frank Baird Mindfulness Classes
Mindfulness is the ability to be aware of your thoughts in a calm, non-judgmental manner. Mindfulness training will teach you to overcome unnecessary, unhelpful thoughts that have been causing you to suffer from anxiety. An increasing number of research studies show that practicing meditation for as little as twenty minutes once a day promotes improved psychological well-being and mental performance.
Psychological benefits include::
- Improved mental health,
- Greater emotional stability,
- Increased calmness,
- Decrease in the symptoms of anxiety,
- Decrease in the symptoms of depression,
- Decreased dependence on prescribed and street drugs,
- Increased concentration and focus,
- Increased creativity.
Physical benefits include:
- Boosts energy and stamina,
- Speeds recovery from illness and injury
- Lessens the frequency and severity of physical ailments,
- Lowers blood pressure significantly,
- Materially reduces stress and stress-related illnesses like heart disease, hypertension and insomnia,
- Significantly alleviates present-moment and chronic physical pain from arthritis, back injury, and most other causes,
- Improves response time, motor skills, coordination and other physical responses.
I can train you in mindfulness practice and provide support for your ongoing practice individually and in groups.

Many of these guided meditations come from Buddhist websites. Mindfulness Meditation comes from Buddhism, but you do not need to be Buddhist to take up Mindfulness or Meditation.
