A quiet revolution is helping people reduce workplace stress, letting employees live more productively and enjoy life more fully. Corporations and individuals are discovering what spiritual practitioners have known for ages: meditation can reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and boost performance.
Consulting firms using meditation and related approaches are coming into the light. Marshall House in Santa Monica, CA, uses guided meditations and other relaxation techniques to help people empower themselves in the midst of workplace stress.
ÒEach of us has an inner source of energy and wisdom,Ó explains Jeanie Marshall, an Empowerment Consultant and Coach at Marshall House and producer of guided meditation CD and MP3 albums. ÒThe pressures of daily living can pull us away from this boundless wellspring of vitality. Guided meditation provides a fast, simple, proven way to reconnect with this unlimited power source and to reduce workplace stress.Ó
Dr. Herbert Benson, M.D., a professor at Harvard Medical School and author of many books on personal well-being, has discovered why meditation can help people reduce stress and perform better. According to Benson, during meditation blood flow is directed to the part of the brain that induces relaxation, a slower pulse, and energy conservation.
Business Week has identified why regular meditation for employees translates into bottom-line results. Benefits cited include: Òincreased brain-wave activity, enhanced intuition, better concentration, and the alleviation of the kinds of aches and pains that plague employees most.Ó
Jeanie Marshall has consulted with numerous large and small corporate clients, including IBM, General Electric, Rohm and Haas, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Tom Kaney, Senior VP, Human Resources, GlaxoSmithKline U.S. Pharmaceuticals, states, ÒJeanie Marshall has had a profound influence on the professional and personal lives of the many people she counsels and coaches in GSK. The impact of her work is consistent and truly transformational. She brings deep insight to help each person find his or her uniqueness and power. Her exceptional gifts and powerful consultations are a cornerstone of our leadership and professional development strategy.Ó

Marshall has produced six guided meditation programs, about twenty minutes each, available as CD albums or MP3 downloads. ÒThese are ideal for anyone, regardless of meditation experience or lack of it,Ó says Marshall. ÒThey give you a quick, powerful way of getting focused to jump-start your day, recharging and relaxing during a hectic day, or unwinding and preparing for a deep, restful sleep at the end of a day.Ó
Steve Moore, Webmaster and Editor of Personal-Development.com, says, ÒI recently experienced one of JeanieÕs wonderful guided meditations in MP3 form using my iPod. She has a natural talent for this, combining a soothing voice with positive affirmations, suggestions, and imagery which guide you toward the results youÕre seeking. IÕve personally found guided meditations to be a powerful method for improving oneself. These are an excellent resource I donÕt hesitate to recommend to anyone."
Marshall has an M.S. in Organization Development and Human Resource Development. She conducts private consultations throughout the world by phone and the Internet, appears as a guest on television and radio shows, and has produced hundreds of guided meditations on audio cassette tapes. For six years she produced and hosted the local television show, ÒReturn to Center,Ó which established her mastery at leading empowering guided meditations. She has been actively involved in the human potential movement and organizational development for more than twenty years.
MarshallÕs guided meditation CD albums and MP3 downloads can be purchased through Amazon.com or through her website at www.jmvoice.com. In addition, she has brief guided meditations for free download.
