East Harlem Mindfulness

"Mindfulness workshops will focus on a mental state achieved by focusing on one's awareness of the present moment. Help participants learn to observe and regulate their emotions through mindfulness, calmly acknowledging one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Provide strategies for using mindfulness to manage stress and anxiety by utilizing essential oils to alleviate personal distress. Listening to soothing sounds such as ocean waves, rain fall, singing bowl and wind chimes. Use examples and situations when to use mindfulness. At the end of every workshop, we will distribute a gift bag that will contain massager, scented oils, candle and stress ball.

Boriken has linkage agreements with many organizations throughout NYC, our plan is to reach out to at least 5 organizations and provide their clients with mindfulness workshops. Our plan is also to provide our patients and staff at Boriken with workshops. At the end of every session, we will have participants fill out a survey to get feedback on how to continuously improve the workshops. "
