Resources & Tools

Some of my favorite resources:

Warrior One – Mindfulness For The Legal Mind

Judi Cohen founded and runs this phenomenal organization which offers lawyers and conflict professionals the opportunity to increase their effectiveness, wellbeing, and leadership skills. Warrior One offers Essential Mindfulness for Lawyers® (EML) programs. EML is nationally recognized for its originality and excellence in integrating traditional mindfulness, groundbreaking neuroscience, and the science and psychology of the legal mind. Ms. Cohen also leads The Wake Up Call, a weekly free resource for lawyers to integrate mindfulness solutions into the law for 20 minutes each Thursday (with some exceptions.)

Balance App
This is my favorite meditation app, and it's completely free for one year.  This easy to use app creates personalized meditation experiences that help people (me!) improve their stress, sleep, focus, mood, and more. I highly recommend the Wake Up program, as well as their multi-day "Advanced Plan" series.  

The Greater Good Science Center (https://greatergood.berkeley.edu) at UC Berkeley is an outstanding resource for science-based information and guidance about mindfulness.  The Greater Good Science Center studies the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being and teaches skills that foster a thriving, resilient, and compassionate society.  I highly recommend you explore their website, where you will find articles, free classes and lots of valuable resources.  

Based at the University of California, Berkeley, one of the world’s leading institutions of research and higher education, the GGSC is unique in its commitment to both science and practice: Not only do we sponsor groundbreaking scientific research into social and emotional well-being, we help people apply this research to their personal and professional lives.
