employees, but Gallo says mindfulness enables her to be available to her staff and solve problems without getting “swept off my feet so easily by all the desires, agendas and emotions confronted at work.” Carroll cautions that it’s not about trying to eliminate
our own or others’ emotional agendas or personal biases at work; rather, individuals use mindfulness to become more conscious of and relaxed about them. “Meditation helps develop agility in viewing… to self-regulate, drop fi xed mindsets, become self-aware,” explains Carroll, who has coached university presidents, CEOs and nonprofi t executives in mindful leadership techniques. “You learn things from a competitor’s perspective or pick up on social cues you may miss if you instead had a fi xed lens on a situation.”
Corporate Acceptance While meditation may be on the upswing in the workplace, it was a battle to legitimize it, according to Tara Healey, program director for mindfulness-based learning at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC). A longtime meditation practitioner, Healey started the Mind the Moment program a decade ago while serving as an organizational capacity building consultant. Surveys had shown that employees were overwhelmed and dissatisfi ed, but lacked the skills to rectify their situation. “The leadership said, ‘Great, let’s do it, but not tell
anyone,’” relates Healey. She notes that meditation, a core component of her multifaceted mindfulness course covering everything from workplace stress to mindful listening, wasn’t accepted in the workplace at that point. Today, 30 percent of her company’s 1,050 employees
have completed a six-week class introducing them to the power of mindfulness; some go on to participate in a guided monthly group meditation practice or use company meditation rooms for individual practice. The health services company also offers the course to its member
companies throughout New England. To date, more than 12,350 people in 174 companies have participated, encompassing varied fi elds from higher education and health to fi nance and technology. A survey of employees showed that initially 99 percent felt it was a good use of their time; another taken six months later found that 87 percent were still using the techniques. HPHC informatics analyst Stephanie Oddleifson, who took the course nearly 10 years ago, says it transformed her way of thinking and behaving in the workplace and furnished a set of practices she uses every day. In times of confl ict, “I was so quick to make up stories in my head and jump to conclusions previously,” she says. “Now I’m able to pause before responding and observe my thoughts without getting caught up in them. I can diffuse tense situations with humor and not take things personally.” Additional research substantiates the anecdotal evidence for meditation’s workplace benefi ts. In 2015, scientists from Canada’s University of British Columbia and Germany’s Chemnitz University of Technology compiled data from 20-plus neurology studies, fi nding signifi cant correlations between meditation and areas of the brain related to capacities for self-regulation, introspection and complex thinking. A Rice University study specifi cally found a positive relationship between workplace mindfulness, job performance and employee retention. While workplace mindfulness programs vary and may incorporate helpful talks, encouraging readings and group discussions, Healey and Carroll both caution that reading or talking about mindfulness or meditation is no substitute for the practice itself, which many fi nd challenging. “You won’t taste the benefi ts just reading about it,” remarks Healey. “The practice will come into play come showtime.”

UNDERSTANDING "HOW NEW ENERGY CONSCIOUSNESS WORKS" to ACHIEVE HEALING by Author and Channeller Terry L Newbegin
The world has fallen into a state of HYPNOSIS and it has been that way for thousands of years due to the TEACHINGS of the CHURCH. I can help bring you out of that HYPNOSIS. I have written four books on the subject: The Book of Revelation: A New Beginning, Genesis: Your Journey Home, Unlocking The Consciousness of Your Soul, and The Fall of The Church. These books can be found on my website:
www.terrynewbegin.com.
I am an innovative CHANNELLER in "New Energy Consciousness." I work with nine well known Ascended Masters (Yeshua “Jesus,” Melchezidek, Mary Magdalene, the Archangels, to mention a few). Because of ignorance, fear and mind control, YOU are STUCK in a NETWORK of copied BELIEFS going back eons of time. This caused you to FORGET "How Energy Works" when it comes to healing your situations in life. EVERYONE carries within them their own VIBRATIONAL SIGNATURE and if it does not match up to a consciousness of KNOWING “who you truly are," then all REMAINS as before. According to the Ascended Masters, UNDERSTANDING how ENERGY WORKS in today's environment allows for TRUE HEALING to occur.
I work with groups due to the fact that the Ascended Masters I channel prefer to teach "New Energy Consciousness" on a group level. If your group is READY to move FORWARD and EXPLORE a “New Method" of healing then contact me for more details. It can take place in a home with just a few people or a venue that holds more. The group sessions/workshops usually take place during the evenings from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. With each group booking, my associate (a channeller in her own right) and I will do personnel channelings free of charge for those attendees. To learn more about the group sessions/workshop, cost, etc., email me at
