Welcome to CJA's portal to wellness and resilience. Wellness is more than physical health, exercise or diet. Rather it is an organic and holistic process in which multiple dimensions harmonize to contribute to the quality of our lives.

This website is organized to follow the six dimensions of wellness: occupational, physical, social, intellectual, emotional and spiritual. We created this webpage just for you. We hope that as you explore, you will find ways to achieve a balance among the six dimensions and that you will rest in wellness at all times.

We want this site to grow so if you find an article or video that you think will help other bench officers, please let us know by emailing info@caljudges.org

Meditation: Meditation involves finding self-awareness in the present moment by using breathing practices to bring balance to our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Some describe meditation as sitting at the shore of the ocean of your mind, watching the waves come and go.

There are various types of meditation practices, such as: mindfulness meditation, spiritual meditation, focused meditation, movement meditation, guided meditation, compassion meditation, mantra meditation, and transcendental meditation. Like any exercise, meditation is a learned skill and our abilities improve as we continue to practice consistently.
Mindfulness: Mindfulness is a quality that every human possesses but must learn how to access. Mindfulness refers to being fully present in the moment by having a heightened awareness of your surroundings, emotions, and actions, while not being overreactive or overwhelmed by the events occurring around you. Mindfulness also involves acceptance, meaning we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without attachment or judgment.
