Mindfulness Meditation
Becoming Self-Aware and More Inclusive
Thursday, April 25, 2024, 1pm
EDT
Event Overview
Would you like to be more patient, exhibit more kindness, and demonstrate more compassion?
Meditation can be a powerful tool for fostering self-awareness. Through regular practice, people can develop a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This allows us to become more attuned to our own biases, prejudices, and assumptions.
As people become more self-aware through meditation, they also become more conscious of their interactions with others. When people have an increased realization of the connectedness of humanity, their interactions can lead to greater empathy and understanding toward people from diverse backgrounds.
During this Keynote, Y. Connie Yuan, a professor in the Department of Communication and the Department of Global Development at Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, will help us understand some common Westernized misconceptions when it comes to meditation. She will also demonstrate some proper meditation techniques and further explain the value of mindfulness.
