You can’t stop the waves,

Mindfulness in the Workplace
Mindfulness in the workplace encourages employees to be present, focused and aware, fostering a calmer and more productive work environment.
The practice of mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress, enhance concentration, and improve communication in the workplace. It helps create a positive work culture, boosting mental clarity, emotional resilience, creativity, and collaboration, ultimately leading to higher job satisfaction, well-being and overall performance.
The Mindfulness series by Gayathri was offered as 30-minute sessions over the course of 6 or so weeks at our company. In the context of our busy work schedules, the sessions were full (with a waiting list, a bit surprising!), consistently attended (a good sign of value) and provided a great overview of the beginnings of a mindfulness practice. Gayathri was authentic as a teacher and able to walk us through the framework (theory) with specific relatable examples and allow for brief practice at the end of each session.
I left the series with a desire for more and a small regular 10-minute practice that I attempt at each morning. In addition, I on occasion have been able to bring a mindfulness and presence to interactions with my colleagues. I would highly recommend mindfulness for others in all walks of life (personal, professionals, corporate) and specifically Gayathri as a guide to this practice.

Gayathri curated a safe and warm space for our college students and staff to take a moment to mediate during our busy and stressful days. Ath the university we are all constantly juggling classes, exams, and constant deadlines, this meditation service was exactly what our campus needed. The sessions were calming, accessible, and suited to student life and even implemented an educational component to the sessions. The guidance was supportive and non-judgmental, making it easy to build consistent practice even with a busy schedule. This experience has been an invaluable tool for our campus’ mental well-being, and I would highly recommend Myndtree’s services for anyone looking for balance and clarity!
