Take a Break: A Mindfulness Meditation in the PA Countryside

Take a Break: A Mindfulness Meditation in the PA Countryside from PM Minimalist on Vimeo .  Description:   From the video description – Mindfulness meditation is the practice of intentionally focusing your attention so as to relax and calm your mind and body. (And if you’re like most project managers, you could certainly use a little relaxation to refresh and prepare you for your next challenge! )… Almost any of nature’s creations (trees, flowers, plants, birds, etc.) can provide an excellent doorway into the clarity and simplicity of increased mindfulness. You merely need to seek them out, spend a few minutes with them, and let your jabbering, worry-filled thoughts fall away… Can’t leave your desk, you say? No worries… I’ve put together a brief video for you of scenes from Northwestern Pennsylvania’s countryside in June.  The images are set to a beautiful soundtrack featuring Robert Ronnes’ “Meditation no 19 – Sunlight Through Cathedral Window.” Link to Video:   http://vimeo.com/44807879 Publisher & Podcast Creator :  Michael Greer ( Disclaimer : That’s me, the author of this listing!),  Michael Greer’s PM Resources   What Publisher is Selling :   PM books, training materials, and customized, on-site PM workshops.
