Mindful Awareness at Work

___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mindfulness at work

"Leaders all over the planet are beginning to understand the benefits of purposefully learning to be more attentive and focused, non-reactive, and clear. Cultivating attention and awareness through mindfulness training provides a way for leaders to live all aspects of their lives with a greater sense of skill, connection, openness, and balance."

—Saki Santorelli, EdD, Executive Director,
Center for Mindfulness, Umass Medical School

Mindful awareness is both an innate capacity for bringing direct attention to the moment by moment unfolding of events within us and around us and it is a disciplined, scientific practice of cultivating greater intimacy with ourselves in such a way that facilitates our ability to respond skillfully to stressful, constantly changing situations as compared to getting caught in patterns of reactivity. Learning to "turn towards" what is- without reservation, judgment or regret- enables us to make informed decisions and remain open to deep levels of intuitive wisdom and creativity that can otherwise be overshadowed by our notions of how things "should" be. Mindfulness practice is a direct, practical approach to learning how to stay closely attuned to the everchanging nature of the present moment.

"As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood,

the wise shape their minds" -the buddha
