Have you heard of mindfulness meditation?
Meditation, or deep breathing and quiet thinking, used to be found only at spiritual places and yoga centers.
But these days mindfulness meditation can be found almost everywhere in the United States from offices to schools, from prisons to the military.
New Age People
People who meditate, practice yoga and similar exercises are sometimes called New Age. They are usually healthy eaters. Many New Age people do not eat meat. They may follow Eastern religions such as Taoism or Buddhism.
A New Age person may talk about being in the moment. And that is at the heart of the Mindfulness Meditation Movement thinking about the present, not the past and not the future.
The mindfulness movement has been around for many years. But now it is being called a revolution. Supporters say this revolution may reduce tensions, stress and improve the body, mind and spirit.
For example, think about what can be a sometimes tense situation a visit to the doctor, especially the dentist.
Sitting in a dentists chair can make a person feel worried and tense. You might be surprised to hear that the dentist can feel this way too.
Alona Bauer is a dentist in Washington, D.C. She describes how her working environment can be tense.
