When I first learned about mindfulness meditation in 2013, I wished as many people from business life as possible who are far from the spiritual practices to learn about the tools that would help them cope with their daily and chronic stresses that every person faces in business life, so that they could improve their life quality, become healthier and happier. By that time, I had been already practicing yoga and meditation and could feel all the beneficial effects of the practices. And then, I learned about the practice of mindfulness, which allows you to talk about meditation without any philosophical, ideological, religious context, or even from a scientific point of view. When I learned how helpful and accurate the experience of applying mindfulness practices as a corporate training in many companies around the World, I realized that it is something that can be done in Russia as well. Of course, as an HR, I understand that not every company is ready to implement such programs, it requires a proper level of the organizational development and a certain corporate culture and the mindset. I am sure that there are a lot of people interested in improving their own lives.
