Ideally the holiday season is a time for celebration and gratitude. But for many people, it can actually be a stressful and challenging time. Practicing mindfulness meditation during the holidays can help.  Mindfulness is a research-based method for cultivating wellness and lowering stress by learning to pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and environment. Inspired by the work of Dr. John Kabat-Zinn and other researchers, this four-week mindfulness course will teach practical, meditation-based skills to cultivate insight and a richer awareness in your daily life. The class consists of meditation exercises as well as a commitment to daily self-care exercises. The practices you will learn in this group will help you to:

  • Become better acquainted with the inner workings of your mind, including entrenched patterns and habits.
  • Understand ways that unconscious thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can undermine our physical and emotional well-being.
  • Learn and practice research-based meditative methods for lowering stress and enhancing a sense of wellbeing.
 
Date and Time: Classes will begin on Wednesday, November 29th, and conclude on Wednesday, December 20th. The first class will be from 6:30-8:30PM, all other classes are from 6:30-8PM.

  • How to enroll: Call or email Dr. Zuniga ([email protected], 512-815-3477) to schedule a brief free consultation to discuss enrolling in this series of classes. Free funding may be available for some oncology patients or oncology caregivers via The Flatwater Foundation.
