For example, mindfulness could be practiced by focusing on the sensation of water rushing over your hands as it falls from a faucet, or by feeling and accepting sadness without trying to push it away or to evaluate it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-114012 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/meditation-3-people-300x194.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Research has linked mindfulness meditation with reduced anxiety, more positive emotions, and, with enough practice, permanent structural changes in the brain that sustain these benefits. Before beginning, know that meditation is a skill that requires practice. In the beginning it might seem as if unwanted thoughts constantly intrude your mind and the serenity associated with meditation might be brief. With time your ability to meditate, and to control your focus, will improve (<a href=\"http:\/\/therapistaid.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">therapistaid.com<\/a>).\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-114013 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/chronicle.hvcc.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/meditation-monday-450x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"167\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Every Monday throughout the semester, Counseling and Wellness Services will be offering virtual guided meditations, available through Student Announcements and the Campus Chronicle.
