Welcome to Santa Clara Meditation! πΏ The journey of a cancer survivor is incredibly courageous, but it often comes with unseen emotional and psychological challenges like anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Recognizing the deep connection between mental well-being and physical recovery, hospitals and wellness centers are increasingly turning to mindfulness practices. In this post, we share an inspiring update from the Gangwon Regional Cancer Center, where Mind Subtraction meditation was introduced to support local cancer survivors in finding inner peace, resting deeply, and improving their overall quality of life. Read on to see how meditation is making a meaningful difference in the medical field! β¨
Professor Park (Professor at Kangwon National University, Director of the University Education Subcommittee) conducted Mind Subtraction meditation lectures and practice sessions for cancer survivors in the Gangwon region across two sessions on Tuesday, July 16, and Tuesday, August 13, 2019, in the education room on the 6th floor of the Cancer and Geriatric Center at Kangwon National University Hospital. π₯
These courses, which ran for one hour each, were organized to provide an opportunity to improve mental health by relieving insomnia, anxiety, and depression among cancer survivors through meditation, which in turn aids their physical health. π± The sessions were conducted after the Gangwon Regional Cancer Center / Cancer Survivor Integrated Support Center commissioned the Academic Society for Human Completion, which researches the medical and health effects of meditation, to lead the program. π€
