ZenMind Project
Cultivating Mindfulness
Zen Mind Project focuses on bringing mindfulness into business and schools.
Practicing mindfulness consistently can change the way you think, feel, and act—because it can literally change your brain.
Scientists find it can be a powerful tool for altering and strengthening key brain networks for the better.
Mindfulness techniques have been proven to promote positive change in the brain pathways involved in stress, focus and attention, memory, and mood.
Some research has even found that a steady dose of mindfulness over a certain amount of time can physically change brain structures
Mindfulness, an umbrella term for a range of practices, is about observing your emotions and state of mind, without judgment.
ZenMind Project teaches techniques in the workplace and in the classroom.
This can be done during sitting meditation, walking meditation, activities such as yoga and even while eating.
We focus our attention on tending to the emotional well-being and support of staff and students.

In recent years, many big organizations have begun to invest in mindfulness. Google, Nike providing meditation rooms and classes for employees, and the U.S. Army uses it to help soldiers to deal with stress, before and after deployment.
Do you ever find yourself dwelling on the past? Perhaps you can't stop replaying a conversation in your head and thinking about what you should have said. Or, maybe you're anxious about the future, and ask yourself endless "what if" questions.
It can be easy to get caught up in a web of anxious thoughts. But this can negatively impact our productivity and our health and well-being, and lead to more reasons to worry.
One way of stopping this pattern is to practice mindfulness in the workplace.
