Mastering Breath Awareness - An "MBA" in Managing Stress

Stress in the workplace is regarded as a common occupational hazard for Canadian workers. Statistics Canada estimates that over $12 billion is lost annually due to workplace stress.

This workshop is based on Larry's experience of the stress he has encountered in the workplace as a corporate trainer and his desire to provide a natural, safe and effective method for managing stress.

It draws on his experience of over 25 years of Zen meditation practice and employs the breath awareness techniques used in Zen practice to help individuals develop awareness, balance, concentration and well-being as they juggle the demanding priorities of their personal and professional lives.

This practical, experiential workshop covers the following topics:

•The relationship of proper breathing to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
• The importance of breathing from the core and why Zen masters teach their students to do so.
• How to find and breathe from the core.
• How to turn off the clutter and clatter in your mind and experience the silence and peace that is present in its depths.
• Using breath awareness to live in the present and how living in the present helps you to banish worry and stress.
• How to become aware of and release the stress that accumulates in the various areas of the body using a Body Awareness process.
