Description

“The concept of some job will flow in my brain and I am not where my body is,” Henry David Thoreau wrote while wandering in the woods over 150 years ago. “I’ve lost my mind.” Being present now is considerably more difficult! Using research, you’ll learn how to improve the mindfulness abilities that help you to do everything from comprehend new information and integrate new habits to regulate emotions. In fact, assisting clients in reclaiming their ability to reflect may be the single most critical building block you can provide for healing, well-being, serenity, and compassion. In a world where there is little time to “stop and smell the flowers,” assist customers in gaining more control over their life.
