Buff & Blue Bytes Presents: A Mindfulness Session with Patricia McLaughlin, LAW JD '87

The practice of mindfulness is being aware in the present moment in a purposeful and nonjudgmental manner. There is much written about mindfulness, but often there is a lack of clarity about how it can make a difference in your daily professional and personal life, espcially in these trying times. 

 

The Buff & Blue Bytes series highlights the unique talents of GW alumni and students through 30-minute informational and interactivevirtual sessions. In this session, Patricia McLaughlin, LAW JD '87, will discusses the practice and practical application of mindfulness. Participants will learn techniques to improve mental fitness and demonstrate that practicing these techniques for minutes in a day can improve your outlook, concentration, communication with others and overall well being.  

 

Patricia, a proud GW alumna, has been an attorney for over 30 years, a professor of law and has held various leadership positions in education. She is a certified yoga teacher and mindfulness instructor who teaches a variety of offerings of in-person classes and online courses in workplace sessions and community settings. She is also a facilitator for Meditate Together, hosted by Mindful Leader, a worldwide program that offers free live group meditation sessions, 24 hours a day, five days a week in an effort to help as many people as possible during these challenging times.
