Exploring Your Inner Resource with iRest Meditation

About this event

Students are encouraged to find a quiet, safe, and comfortable location where they can practice undisturbed. I recommend that students keep a journal nearby, to take note of their experiences and write down journaling prompts. Research reveals that mindfulness-based practices, such as iRest, are analogous to neural training regimens, targeting core body, mind, and brain skills and functionings that are important for success, resiliency, and well-being in daily life. These practices are especially effective as they target brain plasticity in the areas of sensory, motor, and limbic and prefrontal cortical functioning. Thus, iRest is an ideal intervention for reshaping neural pathways critical to fostering emotional self-regulation, ethical decision-making, resiliency, enhancement of cognitive and emotional skills, development of empathy and well-being, as well as improving overall physical and mental health. *This class is designated as office friendly. **This class can be modified to be accomplished in a chair. ***For safety reasons, if participants are using a chair, the chair should be a sturdy, stationary chair that allows their feet to rest flat on the floor. *Office-friendly wellness classes refer to sessions adapted for a corporate or office environment, considering time and space constraints. Designed for varying fitness levels, the practices are accessible within an office space without specialized equipment, aiming to enhance employee health and productivity.
