WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
Mindfulness is a particular way of paying attention in the present moment with openness and curiosity. Mindfulness meditation and daily practices clear the mind and strengthen one’s attention on the activity at hand and all that is in the here and now.
BENEFITS OF MINDFULNESS
Studies have shown great improvement in depression, anxiety, anger management, conflict management, reduced stress, pain, blood pressure and increase in joy, confidence, compassion, well-being, team-work, productivity and success.

Testimonials
Sharon
“Learning about the obstacles to being happy and being able to identify them when I am experiencing them has helped me feel more calm and peaceful. As a result, I am better able to identify when I am making a story out of my struggles (obstacles) and can release myself from being fixated (stuck) on their repetitive story. As a result, I am able to be present in the here and now rather than get carried away in the story or obstacle.”
“I have always been struck by how Manijeh’s discipline, professionalism, and work ethic co-exist
so seamlessly with sensitivity, calmness, joy, dedication, and above all, kindness.” ∼ Peggy Palmer
“In Manijeh’s presence one is inspired!” ∼ Martin B.
Marilynn Record
“Somehow through the teachings and reinforcing the wisdom given in class I have been able to let go of the idea that I must suffer. I can see my reality in the moment and the ability to choose to not suffer which sometimes comes as a result of not wanting to see my reality and in my suffering my imaginings of the negative grow.
