An intensive Two days Workshop on Mindfulness Skills Training towards Presence, Health & Happiness, was conducted in at Hotel KLG Interanational, Sector 43, Chandigarh, organised by Psychopedia, Chandigarh. The workshop was transacted by Ms. Shveta Shourie, who is a US based Mindfulness Coach, and founder of Mindful Presence.
The workshop started with a hands-on training in mindful breathing & meditation, followed by Mindfulness based stress reduction, equipping the participants with the fundamentals of handling stress through the simple art of breathing. The following session focused on mindful eating, & its benefits & how it can lead to healthy life management.
The second day brought to the participants the significance of mindful movement through experiential training in mindful yoga, exercise & walking. The activities were enjoyed by the participants. The final section addressed the importance & benefits of mindful thinking & feeling & communication.
The experiential focus of this ‘one of its kind’ workshop was appreciated well by the audience. The workshop focused on practise based skills training, encouraging enthusiastic interaction among the participants.
Ms. Shveta Shourie has been conducting workshops on Mindfulness in USA & teaching children, teachers & executives. Her approach takes into account, not just Mindfulness but also growth mindset which, she believes directs us to engage meaningfully & mindfully with our personal & professional lives. She hopes to see the next generation more connected, confident , empathetic , wiser & imbibed with mindfulness & growth mindset.
The discontentment in most people’s lives, jobs and relationships is because we are not present in the now but running after something in the future or ruminating in the past. Shveta is passionate about teaching these life skills to children at a younger age so that they are equipped with the tools and the wisdom whenever they find themselves in a challenging situation and are able to use it instead of being on autopilot and letting blame, anxiety, sorrow, anger, jealousy, addiction to alcohol, smoking, drugs or smart screens take over.
Shveta imagines a world full of compassionate people, free of gun violence, drugs, greed and ignorance. And if we all make little bit of time to cultivate and practice Mindfulness and its principles, we would be leaping forward towards this beautiful society that is more tolerant and empathetic.
The event was organised by Chandigarh based young entrepreneur Ms. Aashna Narula, Director Psychopedia. Ms. Narula congratulated the participants for completing the workshop & delving onto a new journey towards health & happiness.
The participants included students, teachers, doctors, psychologists & home makers. The event will be followed up by reflection meet after a week.
