Why train workplace meditation?
The Approach: Execution + Integration.
Attention.
It’s the attention economy. More information is coming at us than ever before and it's reducing attention spans. Attention training allows your staff to focus on what’s in front of them. They achieve more in less time; making best use of it.
Attitude.
The way of feeling or acting toward a person or situation, makes a big difference. Having an attitude of equanimity gives benefits like: no stress, a clear head, patience; and leads to increases in productivity & a good environment.
Serenity.
Being calm and peaceful; regardless of the circumstances faced. When you enter into serenity, you change yourself. You live as an inner being. And when you look after your inner world, the outer world looks after itself.
Insight.
New ideas, innovation and those ‘aha’ moments occur when the mind is spacious. For many it happens in the shower or toilet; but not at work. Develop the minds of employees to soar to previously unattainable heights of insight.
Stages of engagement.
Thinking.
It all begins with an idea. It’s that spark telling you it could be better. A logical concept to improve the performance and wellbeing of your staff; your workplace.
Doing.
This is the chasm of endless reps, facing challenges and adversity. It is where you put the knowing into practice. It’s hard. It’s supposed to be…as is anything worthwhile.
Being.
Where the magic happens. The integration. You are no longer the logical concept. It’s who you are or your organisation is. This is where flow states occur.
The Practice.
Simple, secular and evidence based methods that help the mind be healthier and less distracted.
Formal.
The ‘Gym for the Mind’
Training mental skills of attention, awareness and attitude.
Informal.
During the work day.
Function mindfully & equanimously while in the course of daily activities.
Mr Meditate launched in San Francisco, California, one of the world’s most progressive and forward thinking cities.
Founded in 2012 because of the high growth in workplace depression.
Being meditators and wanting to help, we created Mr Meditate to offer simple and universal techniques to tackles this.
More than ever before, mental health has become of growing concern in society and the workplace. There is stress from all sorts of pressures and we build a whole culture around hiding from it, pretending it’s not there & distracting ourselves with goals, projects & concerns about status.
Many get stuck in the ‘if only’ syndrome. If I had more money, then I would be happy. If only I could find someone who really loved me; if only I could lose 20 kilos and on and on forever. What meditation helps to discover is that we are already abundant, happy and peaceful. All we need to do is get beyond the mind and slow down to realise it. Psychotherapy (lengthy and costly) and prescription pills (essentially a masking agent) are often resorted to in the first instance. Neither of these acts as a preventative.
Mr Meditate offers a continuous improvement in the long haul. Micro-progress combined with consistency and time has a compounding effect.
It is used as tool to implement the progress your organisation wants. There is no paralysis by analysis. Instead it’s a system of execution and integration of experiential learning.
According to many, meditation is the best self-development thing you can do. Only through experience, can you truly know.
