Mind-body practices such as meditation can enhance a business in many ways. Many employees already have some experience with practices like yoga and meditation and are receptive to these kinds of wellness programs.
Power On Meditation (short video)
An Applied Mediation Practice
Everyone can benefit from being a heart-centered leader, manager, assistant, or parent, wife or husband as it applies to one’s personal and business lives. My work as a heart rhythm meditation coach teaches individuals and those at all levels in the corporate and organizational culture how to become heart-centered in all aspects of their lives.
A heart-centered leader leads from the heart. Meditation practices develop the ability to respond with awareness instead of reaction. Practices allow the leader to make everyone on a team feel recognized and valued. Heart meditation practices bring clarity and calmness to any situation.
Heart-based meditation practices are great for stress relief right off the bat. Basic heart-breathing practices are being taught all over now as a way to transform stress into positive energy.
Heart-based communication is a fantastic tool for problem solving. From the heart arises solutions that are long-term and based on the good of all. Creativity is enhanced and can be tapped into to solve problems and achieve goals. Our core creativity comes from a state of open-heartedness.
As a local heart meditation instructor (and business person) I offer the following as a general outline of how a meditation program can be implemented in a business environment.
Heart-Centered Leadership – benefits
- Heart-centered leadership can grow from heart-centered mindfulness practices such as Heart Rhythm Meditation.
- Heart-centered mindfulness develops concentration and sensory clarity through precise moment-by-moment focus on the sensations of the heart and of the breath.
- Mindfulness provides you with clarity and calm in a crisis, protecting you from the temptation to panic and jump from one bad situation to another.
- Meditation can help you determine what’s important and not just urgent.
