Tompkins County Public Library will host free weekly mindfulness meditation sessions Tuesdays, July 11 through August 29 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,
