Why Meditate?

What is Meditation? A state of deep peace that occurs when the mind is calm and silent.

It sounds blissful, doesn’t it? Here are some of the benefits of meditation:

• Creates serenity of mind

• Creates emotional strength that helps fight against negative feelings of anger and tension

• Boosts feelings of happiness

• Expands intuition through improved clarity

• Improves focus and concentration

• Promotes calmness

• Reduces inflammation in the physical body – Relaxation turns off the stress response

• Lowers blood pressure

• Boosts levels of serotonin that improves mood

• Reduces stress-related ailments such as headaches and insomnia

• Improves energy levels

 I teach several different types of meditation. I may use one type of meditation in a session or several.

Mindfulness Meditation: Mindfulness meditation is following the breath. Pay attention to the breath, and when the mind wanders, return.

Guided Meditation: You listen while I take you through a series of relaxing visualizations. As you listen you become more relaxed and stress and tension melt away and your mind becomes clearer.

Mantra Meditation: A mantra is a word or phrase repeated over and over as a way of focusing your mind and avoiding distractions. For example, “Peace” or “I feel free”.

Body Scan Meditation: Its purpose is to become aware of, and relaxing, different regions of the body. The objective is to see your body as a perfect whole, united by your breath that is flowing in and out of your body.

Loving Kindness Meditation: Method by which we progressively develop loving-kindness toward yourself, then progressively toward others and then all beings.
