Mindfulness Meditation to Reduce Stress

Meditation is the intentional self-regulation of attention. It enhances concentration and awareness as an individual focuses systematically and intentionally on particular aspects of his inner or outer experience. It is a way to pay attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgementally. Meditation can have profound influences as a method of calming the mind and body while developing clarity, insight, and a deepening awareness of self-understanding.

Dr. Connie teaches mindfulness meditation classes throughout the country at top health clubs and spas. Dr. Connie says, "There is no right or wrong way to meditate. You don't have to try, just allow what happens to happen. There is no magical length of time. My class consists of one hour, however, beginners may want to start with a few moments and work up to a longer meditation time."

Connie has a published book and a professionally recorded CD entitled "Surviving Stress with a Healing Heart, A Meditation for Wellness".
