Workshop Description
We all know that meditation can help with a variety of physical and mental health concerns.
The research on the benefits of meditation is clear. Meditation can help clients:
· Balance the nervous system to promote calmness and peace
· Influence and alter brainwaves to boost focus and sustain cognitive functioning
· Regulate emotions and improve relationships
· Improve physical health
· Increase quality of life
But many people don’t know how to start a meditation practice, and many more struggle to maintain a practice over time.
Our Level 2 Instructor Training: Clinical Applications Workshop provides a deep dive into using meditation as an adjunctive intervention for mental health conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, chronic stress, depression, or PTSD.
In this workshop you will learn to:
· Identify and describe different styles of meditation and the impact those styles have on the brain and nervous system
· Pair each style with a client’s specific concerns
· Develop a meditation plan for each client in your practice
· Evaluate the effectiveness of each meditation plan
The Level 2 Instructor Training Workshop combines didactic instruction with hands-on learning. Experiential training and small-group practice sessions allow you to practice teaching each meditation style.
