I received an email about a free mindfulness meditation session. The email came from an instructor I had at UNR that teaches Mindful Leadership. I've been trying to turn things around in my life lately so this came at a perfect time. This free, one hour session runs at 5pm on the third Wednesday of each month.
I arrived and entered the building from the back and could easily see where the session was being held. I took a seat as people started filing in. There were probably about 12-15 of us. Yvonne, the leader, introduced herself and told us that she held her first session in January. She explained a little bit about Midtown Mindfulness and began the guided meditation. Afterwards, she provided some written material to help us understand how mindfulness can help us.
Although the session is free, donations help pay the rent and are very much appreciated. In addition to meditation, Midtown Mindfulness also offers psychotherapy, psychiatry, massage, reiki and yoga. If you are looking to reduce the stress in your life, mindful meditation is a great way to get started. read more
