At Meaningful Connection Counseling we are proud to offer mindfulness and meditation training in Mesa, AZ for those that are interested in better self-regulation and connection with the world.
Why Mesa Mindfulness & Meditation?
Mindfulness and Meditation are daily practices that can increase wisdom, focus, and a greater overall sense of well-being. These practices can help the individual to contain and process difficult emotions and increase one’s ability to self-regulate emotions and self-soothe.
By tapping into the individual’s inner resources, one can increase the ability to tolerate unpleasant emotions and experiences as well as boost the capacity for relaxation, freedom, and contentment. These practices help to restore the mind-body connection and help the individual to live more effectively in the present moment to connect with the surrounding environment. This can help deepen engagement with the world and allow for greater feelings of love, forgiveness, compassion and appreciation.
About Mindfulness
Mindfulness is essentially an unstructured, nonjudgmental self-observation and attention to the present moment, allowing for noticing and accepting change, both internally and externally.
About Meditation
Meditation is a more structured, concentrated form of mindfulness. It is a purposeful practice with a determined length of time, often to focus on just one thing in the present moment, such as the breath, music, a candle, thoughts, sounds, objects, etc. The goal is to be mindful of the focus of your meditation (such as the breath) and consistently bring the attention back to this focus, nonjudgmentally, any time the attention has wandered.
Meditation is most effective when it can be done daily. Even a 5 to 10-minute daily meditation can be helpful in changing the mind’s ability to bring itself back to the present moment at other points throughout the day. Free apps and YouTube videos are available to assist you in finding daily guided breathing and mindfulness meditations.
