Have you ever wondered why some doctors prescribe meditation before medication?
The Dalai Lama once said, “If every 8-year-old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation.” And he’s right — when we practice meditation, we don’t only become more relaxed, we become better human beings in all aspects (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually).
A silver lining since the coronavirus pandemic has been the growing public interest on realistic ways to integrate wellness practices such as mindful meditation into corporate culture.
While still new for most corporates, the benefits of mindfulness and meditation have long been studied.
Apple, Google, Yahoo, Proctor & Gamble, Nike, HBO…
What do these corporates have in common? These corporates understand that time spent meditating means balanced, focused and productive workers who get things done.
