HindiUSA Workshop: Introduction to Mindfulness

[Anshul Laad]

Dear Parents,

 

The next workshop will be held this Friday, the 26th from 7:05pm to 7:55pm in room 814 on the upper level and the topic of discussion is “Introduction to Mindfulness”.

 

Our expert for this session is Ms. Monica Jain

Why do we need Mindfulness : 

 

Mindfulness trains the brain to be focused, to have clarity, make better decisions, to unleash the innate creativity with compassion, and to be connected to others and our inner self. 

 

It reprogram our minds to remove toxic emotions and enables us to RESPOND as opposed to REACT under any circumstance.

 

Mindfulness helps us to stay in the present moment and after all, this moment is all we really have. It is a gift, which, and that is why it’s called the “PRESENT”.
