COURSE IN MINDFULLNESS CIM’S Resurgence Mindfulness & Stress Management Program For Corporate Legendary Words “If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is, if you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there’s room to hear more subtle things – that’s when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It’s a discipline; you have to practice it.” – Steve Jobs, Founder, Apple Computers.
