Reduce Stress, Restore Calm
Lunch-and-Learn
Session outline
In just 45 minutes, attendees learn a simple meditative technique developed by reknowned cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson, the founder of Harvard's Mind-Body Institute.
It's a great meditation to know.
It is designed to switch the body's autonomic nervous system out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest”, by encouraging the body to release chemicals and brain signals that cause you to relax.
Practice this for just 10 minutes to feel the benefits, promote health and healing.

When we feel stressed we often find it hard to think or communicate well. When we know how to dial down our stress response, we can focus on the task at hand and engage with our colleagues, as well as examine what we can do to manage or reduce our stressors.
This session teaches attendees a technique that has been shown to help reduce the symptoms of stress.

Pitched Perfectly for the Audience
I wanted to offer mindfulness as a means to support my team's mental health.
I wasn't sure what to expect but Tracey's presentation was awesome. The content was pitched perfectly for the audience; well organised and easy to follow.
