Why Should You Join
Emotional Regulation
Mindfulness has been shown to promote stronger focus, memory, and problem solving, functions that are impacted negatively by stressful and traumatic conditions. Regular mindfulness practice improves the brain’s capacity for decision making and emotional regulation.
Joy
Mindfulness cultivates agility and flexibility in attention, allowing us to more easily tune in to pleasant experiences that are always present even during a pandemic: spring blossoms, blue skies, laughter and love. Similar to skiing or mountain biking, when facing life’s uncertainties, it’s helpful to focus on where we want to go rather than ruminating on the potential dangers.
Genetic & Immunity
Not only do we see improvements in general health, but research has confirmed that mindfulness improves telomerase activity. This vital enzyme controls cellular aging and ultimately the age-related decline of the entire body.
Does this mean mindfulness keeps us young? Possibly.
