As attorneys, we are constantly under stress, working against deadlines, and dealing with a lot of different parties who are often in conflict and under emotional stress themselves. To maintain our mental health, we can learn the basics of meditation and have a tool that we can practice daily at our disposal.  Regular meditation practice that can help us gain better focus, alleviate stress, and help prevent mental health issues like depression and anxiety. This course will discuss the disproportionate rates of mental health issues among lawyers, introduce the basic techniques of meditation practice, explain how it works, and how it would fit into the lives of attorneys in particular. We will also do a quick 5 minute meditation together and then take questions afterwards.
