Tompkins County Public Library will host free mindfulness meditation sessions each Wednesday in August from noon to 12:30 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room-West.
Facilitated
by psychotherapist and Certified
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Teacher Anna Salamone, RN, LCSW, these
sessions will encourage participants to shift out of "automatic
pilot" mode and observe the workings of the mind, body, and emotions.
Mindfulness
practice has been touted as a means for reducing stress, improving attention,
boosting the immune system, reducing emotional reactivity and promoting a
general sense of health and well-being.
Salamone
received extensive training from The Center for Mindfulness, Healthcare, and
Society founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical
School and has been leading classes in Ithaca since 2007.
These
sessions are free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.annasalamone.com, or http://www.umassmed.edu/cfm/, or
contact Carrie Wheeler-Carmenatty at cwheeler@tcpl.org
or (607) 272-4557 extension 248.
