#3138 Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation

This class will focus on the benefits of mindfulness for regulating emotions, and thus, the nervous system. Research shows that mindfulness-based practices can change the subjective conditions that give rise to emotions and also strengthen a person’s ability to respond wisely to them. There might not be a more consequential strategy for cultivating emotional wellbeing than a regular mindfulness practice. Participants will have many opportunities to apply concepts to their daily experiences and emotional triggers. The class will demystify mindfulness, identify its psychological elements, and explain the underlying science. The class includes short lectures and fun experiential exercises. This class is ideal for anyone interested in the mind, meditation, emotions, and wellness. No prior experience with mindfulness is necessary.
