mindfulness in the mainstream

The week classes started, the Boston Globe published this story about mindfulness meditation among college age folks. Mindfulness is an evidence-based and ancient way to manage anxiety and achieve a greater clarity of being. It’s NOT new age mumbo jumbo; the science behind mindfulness meditation as a way to treat and manage anxiety, depression, smoking, stress, and more is quite solid.

The Smith College Wellness Office is putting together a number of mindfulness-related events this semester, including Yoga for Better Academics, on Mondays at 5pm in Ainsworth 151. No reservation necessary, no fee, just walk in whenever it’s convenient for you.

Also, look for “Art is Good for You” in the museum on Friday Sept 25 at noon. Learn how to use visual art and the museum to train your brain to disengage, focus on one thing at a time, and reengage fully energized and renewed.
