Today, Crista shares a session bringing awareness to an invisible experience so many of us endure. Anxiety is unsettled energy that disturbs the body's natural harmony. In this practice, you will be guided gently through some essential steps to manage stressful anxiety in order for you to reach a state of calmness. We will relax our nervous system, our body, and our mind. Come prepared to explore peace.

Whether this is your first mindfulness Monday or you are a returning participant, these sessions are created with the intention of including everyone. There will be time for questions following the practice.

Did you know that whatever you practice, whether it's a new skill or a habitual thought pattern, it grows a stronger neural pathway in the brain? Join Integrative Health Coach and MBSR instructor Lisa Varno, as we explore letting go of patterns of self-judgment and self-criticism, and instead strengthen a new "muscle" as we practice self-compassion. During this session, you will be introduced to the work of Dr. Kristen Neff as we learn about the three elements of self-compassion and practice a loving-kindness meditation.
