Atención Plena (Mindfulness Meditation in Español)

Presencia de Corazon: la Atencíon Plena

¿Le gustaría tener más presencia de corazón? ¿Más claridad mental? ¿Le gustaría sentirse más relajado y equilibrado? ¿Le interesa mejorar la calidad de su vida, especialmente sus relaciones con los miembros de su familia y colegas de trabajo? La atención plena (lo que se llama Mindfulness en inglés) puede ayudarlo a desarrollar más claridad mental y equilibrio emocional. Puede ayudarlo a relajarse, concentrarse, desconectarse de distracciones y mejorar las capacidades de memoria y atención. La práctica de atención plena lo ayudará a hacerse cargo de la dirección y la calidad de su propia vida, incluidas sus relaciones con su familia, sus relaciones en el trabajo y como usted se relaciona con el mundo.

Cuando practica la atención plena, se enfoca en tomar conciencia de lo que está sintiendo y pensando en el momento, sin juzgarlo, desarrollando la capacidad de cultivar la apreciación por cada momento de su vida. En esta clase aprenderá métodos de respiración, meditaciones guíadas y otras prácticas que lo ayudarán a desarrollar la atención plena.
