Meditation has\nbeen proven to inculcate creative engagement, reduce work-related stress, aid communication\nand help clarify goals and objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meditation can help foster a more compassionate approach in\nall our interactions with others by creating a pause between our thoughts and\nactions. In this pause, meditators become more adept at reducing self-judgement,\nwhich opens new avenues of self-care. The advent of increased empathy and self-care\ncreates an environment in which we can find more rewarding and productive\nrelationships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meditators often find that they become more patient and open\nto other\u2019s point-of-view, a trait essential in all collaborative environments\nand exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meditators learn to listen more deeply, without as much self-recrimination\nor judgement, and are therefore better equipped to adapt to change, assess\ntheir own needs and the needs of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Garber, Jim Eischen &amp; Jim Milner invite you to join them in a warm conversation between friends, exploring the benefits of Zen meditation and mindfulness practices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WMD founder, Steve Garber, collaborating with Lofty Learning, presents on-line course in Zen Meditation.
