WEST HARTFORD, Conn. — Take a deep breath, and get ready to workout! Today, we are working out your
mind. It's all part of this year's New England 61 Day Challenge, focusing on mind, body, and spirit.
"Mindfulness is a term that is used a lot, but really, meditation is the exercise," said Peter Callahan, Leadership and Engagement Director at Copper Beech Institute. "So if you've heard of meditation, it's sort of like the gym for this muscle of your mind. We work out on meditation so we can then go out into the world and be hopefully even a little bit more mindful."
