7- Week MINDFULNESS MEDITATION Course Starting September 13th


I


ntegrative Therapies is pleased to once again be offering Mindfulness Mediation with Lina Landess. Mindfulness is about being present in the moment. It is about putting down all the balls you are juggling in your day-to-day life and embracing what’s really important. By allowing us to become aware of the “little things”, Mindfulness Meditation helps us discover a qual- ity of internal peace that is innate, but we keep missing with our busy days and even busier minds. Lina’s unique approach to facilitating this meditation concept will include utilizing a differ- ent theme each week to heighten your experience. Organizations that have brought mindfulness to the work-


place have discovered a decrease in the overall stress levels of their employees with a true increase in their focus, clarity and decision-making skills. Team managers who model mindfulness find their members engaged in the work environment. It has also been introduced in some schools where the students have re- sponded positively both emotionally and socially. Join author Lina Landess, Holistic Health & Trauma Release


Coach, Mindfulness Meditation Facilitator, and EFT Practitioner, for an hour on Thursday evenings September 13 thru November 1 at 6:30pm. Together you will explore how Mindfulness Medita- tion can help you find peace amidst the chaos and become a more focused, calmer and healthier you!

liative Care of Greensboro, which were painted by participants in the Grief Share program. She has worked continuously with Hospice to provide bird feeders, bird seed and field guides to each of the 14 respite care rooms. Haralson has also donated bird feeders from the annual Wild Birds Unlimited Feeder Swap program to the homes of families under the home health care of Hospice. Sally Cobb, a therapist at Hospice said, “Thanks to her


generous support, Hospice of Greensboro has been able to furnish patients and their families with a constant connection to nature and a welcome distraction from the heaviness of end of life issues. This relationship has become especially meaningful since it has allowed people in our community to learn about ‘the nature connection’ that we here at Hospice believe is a valuable tool to help with end of life support.
