Green Queen x sitsat Presents Meditation 101
Benefits & Techniques
An Evening For Beginners
“We do all kinds of things to remain beautiful yet we spend surprisingly little time taking care of what matters most: the way our mind functions.” -Matthieu Ricard
Hong Kong is a fast-paced city. 60% of Hong Kongers are highly stressed, 50% feel they have poor mental health and 25% show signs of depression and anxiety- the latter is 250% higher than the global average. Science and data proves that meditation works and there are no side effects. In fact, neuroscientists have found that just 8 weeks of mindful meditation practice changes parts of the brain that manage stress, enhance focus and regulate emotions. More info here.
If you have been curious about meditation, and are interested in seeing how you can make meditation a regular part of your life, this workshop is for you. We will cover the fundamentals of meditation including what it is, misconceptions about meditation, and how to approach meditation as a beginner. We will demystify meditation and show you how to use it as a tool for self-development. You will leave the workshop knowing how to enjoy a continued meditation practice at home.
