Abstract
During this half-hour session, Dr. Carlin Miller will briefly introduce the practice of mindfulness and its research outcomes, and lead participants through several guided meditations focused on deep relaxation. This mindfulness session is particularly well-timed for overtaxed research administrators recovering from the busy fall grant season: more than 10,000 published studies in multiple populations support mindfulness-based interventions as highly effective for reducing stress, distress, and rumination, as well as increasing resiliency! Open yourself to a restorative half hour -- and perhaps the beginning of a new practice.
Dr. Miller has been meditating for more than a decade and uses mindfulness-based interventions in her research on complementary interventions for people with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and those around them. She is an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Windsor and is also affiliated with the Behaviour, Cognition, and Neuroscience program. As a trained clinician, she is proud that her teaching responsibilities include training the Clinical Psychologists of tomorrow.
