The Maine Mindfulness Project is based on the belief that happiness, well being and a peaceful life are of the utmost importance to people everywhere.  Our goal is to provide meditation sessions and training to help you meet your goals and more deeply enjoy the path you are on.

 

Our externally fast paced lives call for practices to support our internal peace and happiness to maintain health, stamina, and clarity.  These may include eating well, getting enough rest, and physical exercise.  It is also very useful to have an internal practice to elicit relaxation and maintain health.

 

Meditation is such an exercise: it simultaneously relaxes the body and centers attention in the present moment.  It increases well being by reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, strengthening the immune system, improving concentration, and creating peace. 

Any activity can be done with mindfulness. Studying, working, creating art, exercising, speaking in public, undergoing surgery, learning an instrument, eating, competing in sports, gardening, or meeting new people.

 

Meditation is also an effective healing technique and studies have confirmed the practice provides many benefits for maintaining or regaining health and wellness.

 

There are many forms of meditation ~it is not a "one size fits all" practice. The Maine Mindfulness Project is committed to helping you and your organization, school, business or group develop a practice that is an organic fit.
