A New Year. . .A New Focus A New Program For You There is much to be mindful of in this winter season of holidays, an ending of a year and a beginning of another. This year, we can add our awareness of challenges that are affecting each of us personally. The practice of mindful awareness calls us to be present to ourselves and all that we are experiencing in this moment. Distractions are readily available and provide an opportunity to avoid introspection, but what if you chose not to do that. . .this time. What if you chose to sit with yourself and reflect on what is truly important to you in your life, right this minute, what would you say? If you did that, are there changes you would make in the way you relate to yourself and, in turn, to your family. . .your friends. . . .your community? Beginning in January, you will have the opportunity to gather with others to take a closer look at how and why we make the choices and/or the decisions that we do. These monthly gatherings are part of the Mindful Awareness Meditation Program sponsored by the Integrative Medicine Dept. of PCI., and are open to patients of all three PCI offices. The facilitators will be Kathy Shore and Martha Petit. If you are already using the Mindful Awareness Self Study Program, this is your chance to share your experience with others and have a time of group meditation, discussion, and experiential activities. If you are not using the program at home, but would like to know more about it, please join us.
