About our Program for Workplaces
The Unified Mindfulness System has been at the centre of groundbreaking research into Workplace Mindfulness. At Aussie Meditation our Unified Mindfulness based programs will offer real mindfulness solutions to managing the stress and challenges of work. We show you how to take the practice and the benefits into your day – not matter how busy you are.
The Not-So-Great News
Workplaces in Australia can be pretty stressful. A recent Safe Work Australia report highlighted the huge number of mental health claims are due to work-related stress. With factors like high demands, long hours, and job uncertainty, many Aussies are feeling the strain, leading to anxiety, depression, and burnout.
But Here’s Some Good News
While Australian businesses are starting to focus on mental health, they haven’t fully embraced mindfulness yet. But globally? Big names are hopping on the mindfulness train. Even top schools like Harvard Business School have integrated mindfulness into their programs. There’s a shift happening!
Why Choose Aussie Meditation?
Unified Mindfulness has been at the centre of ground-breaking Workplace Mindfulness Research. While some Workplace Mindfulness Offerings ‘out there’ have facilitators with as little as 2 days training a Certified Unified Mindfulness Trainer has done at least 440 hours of in-person training. Designed by Shinzen Young and used by giants like Harvard Medical School for Mindfulness research, this system is perfect for the workplace.

FAQs
Not at all.
The mind thinks involuntarily just like a heart beats and the good news here is that there are plenty of ways to use thoughts as a focus object for meditation. That means you can access all the benefits of meditation even if you are someone with a busy mind. No need to try and stop your thoughts.
Busy minds welcome.
To really start getting the most out of meditation practice all it takes is 10 minutes a day.
Don’t have 10 minutes?
Maybe you’ll feel differently once you know that those 10 minutes can be done even while driving (with the right technique) or walking, working out and more.
We’ll show you how to bring mindfulness into any part of your day. That might look like waiting in a queue, sitting in a meeting, having a conversation, brushing your teeth, preparing for a difficult discussion or having a meal. The list is actually endless. These kinds of moments all add up when it comes to developing your skills, accessing the benefits and becoming a more mindful you.
One of the big misconceptions out there is that meditation is only about becoming calm. The transformative potential of mindfulness offers a meditator much more. Mindfulness practice involves 3 attentional skills. These skills work together and naturally develop both calmness and alertness. Instead of relying on a certain level of stress to fuel your ‘edge’ you’ll have the combination of calm and clarity that you feel when you wake refreshed after a really restful sleep. You’re also less exhausted because you use mindfulness to manage stress instead of fight it. So you have more energy, not less. Your heightened calm allows you to remain unruffled under pressure and the alertness, clarity and attention to detail helps you make better decisions. That’s an edge.
