Meditation
for Lawyers - Starting Friday, August 13, 2010 -
Every Friday between 12:15-1:00 PM -
A lot of lawyers still think of meditation as a pretty flaky business,
perhaps slightly more credible than witchcraft or fortune telling, but
definitely of the same ilk. Some of what passes as meditation can be a bit
flaky, but the psychological benefits of traditional meditation practices are
becoming more and more accepted. As a stress reduction measure, it is far more
effective than a program of regular double scotches and it has none of the
unfortunate side effects. Given the high levels of stress experience by most
practicing lawyers, the ease with which meditation can be incorporated into
one's daily routine, and the significant personal benefits that can arise from
meditation, there is much to commend it. For those lawyers who are impacted by
stress, depression or anxiety, participating in this group will be tremendously
helpful.
