Organizations are searching for new and innovative ways to help their employees become more creative and productive while experiencing greater satisfaction in their work lives. The constant market pressures to reduce costs and increase revenue make it more and more difficult to introduce expensive employee programs which may or may not have proven track records on producing desired results.

Organizations are asking, “How do we provide cost-effective, stimulating programs that support employee growth as well as help the company meet its fiscal goals and objectives?”

Adding a meditation class to your health benefit offerings can provide employees with a proven stress reduction tool and provide other benefits as well. More than a thousand scientific studies published in scientific journals, books and graduate theses over three decades have demonstrated the benefits of meditation. These benefits include both psychological and physical components. Some of them are:

• More positive attitude
• More accurate judgment
• Increased creativity
• Increased concentration and memory
• Greater emotional stability
• Increased energy and stamina
• Speedier recovery from illness
• Reduced stress and stress-related illnesses such as heart disease, hypertension, insomnia
• Improved response time, motor skills, and coordination
• Just plain enjoying work more!

The class consists of four one-hour weekly sessions and provides all the tools to establish a meditation practice. It includes:

• An overview of various meditation techniques
• In-depth meditation instruction
• Setting up a space for meditation
• Deepening the meditative experience using the breath and other techniques
• Meditation obstacles and how to overcome them
• Weekly question and answer periods to discuss specific concerns, problems or issues
• Weekly in-class meditation time
