Meditation and Mindfulness Training at The Midtown Practice is a structured, evidence-informed program offered to individuals, organizations, and mental health professionals in New York City and virtually.
Modern life is full of distraction and stress, but the ancient practices of meditation and mindfulness can offer scientifically backed solutions to restore clarity, resilience, and emotional balance. Led by Jared Sossin, LMHC and Julia Samton MD, The Midtown Practice is proud to offer comprehensive training programs designed to integrate these powerful tools into your daily life, your workplace, and your clinical practice.
What are Meditation and Mindfulness?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, they represent two distinct yet complementary tools to improve mental well-being:
- Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present in the moment—intentionally and without judgment. It is the ability to observe thoughts, physical sensations, and surroundings with a sense of curiosity rather than reactivity.
- Meditation is the formal “gym” for the mind. It consists of dedicated techniques—such as breathwork, visualization, or mantra—used to cultivate a state of focused attention and heightened awareness.
Together, these practices help individuals move from a state of “auto-pilot” and towards intentional living. This transition has a powerful positive effect on quality of life, focus, and emotional balance.
Meditation and Mindfulness Training for Individuals
The benefits of meditation and mindfulness extend far beyond the meditation cushion, impacting both personal health and professional efficacy. Similar to how building strength in the gym provides robust physical ability in everyday life, the cognitive and emotional skills built during these practices increase mental clarity and emotional resilience in everyday life.
For Individuals:
- Stress Reduction: Lowers cortisol levels and helps manage the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- Emotional Regulation: Provides the space to respond to life’s challenges rather than reacting impulsively.
- Physical Health: Improves sleep quality, lowers blood pressure, and strengthens the immune system.
For Businesses:
- Enhanced Performance: Mindfulness trains the brain to sustain focus, leading to higher productivity and better decision-making.
- Improved Corporate Culture: Shared mindfulness practices foster empathy and communication, reducing workplace conflict.
- Burnout Prevention: Equips employees with the tools to manage high-pressure environments, leading to higher retention and job satisfaction.
