Reduce Stress, Restore Calm
Lunch-and-Learn
Session outline
In just 45 minutes, attendees learn a simple meditative technique developed by reknowned cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson, the founder of Harvard's Mind-Body Institute.
It's a great meditation to know.
It is designed to switch the body's autonomic nervous system out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest”, by encouraging the body to release chemicals and brain signals that cause you to relax.
Practice this for just 10 minutes to feel the benefits, promote health and healing.

When we feel stressed we often find it hard to think or communicate well. When we know how to dial down our stress response, we can focus on the task at hand and engage with our colleagues, as well as examine what we can do to manage or reduce our stressors.
This session teaches attendees a technique that has been shown to help reduce the symptoms of stress.
What people say
Lunch & Learn
Perfect introduction to mindfulness
If you want to learn about mindfulness then this is a perfect introduction. The Taste of Mindfulness session was very well structured and helped me learn the truth about mindfulness. I particularly liked the exercise where we were asked to observe the mind whilst looking at an image on a slide - really helped you understand how your brain does its own thing! I also liked seeing everyone's comments in the chat when asked for our thoughts at different points during the session and Tracey's response as she read them out.
