Benefits of Meditation
- Research has proven that 4 to 7 minutes of meditation each day actually changes the chemistry in your brain.
- Meditation helps us bring balance, harmony and tranquility to our body, mind and spirit.
- Being able to calm our minds, clear our thoughts, and relax our physical body, we are then able to deal much more calmly with every day stresses, anxieties, fears, concerns, and frustrations.
If you deal with any of the following, meditation can help you not only get through and get past negativity, it can help you thrive and keep a constant inner peace no matter what circumstances are happening around you. Meditation helps us get through traumatic events in our lives with mental clarity and a healthy perspective.
Meditation helps us deal with:
- Life's transitions
- Loss, sadness, grief, depression, fears
(Loss comes in many forms - loss of loved one, loss of job, loss of health, loss of independence, loss of income, etc.)
- Stress, tensions, anxiety, frustrations
- Our attachment to outcomes
- Trust in the Universe
- Anger, rage, hate
- Negativity, negative emotions, negative thought patterns
- Our relationship with our Higher Power
- Our feeling of connectedness
- Our sense of self, our self-worth and self-confidence
- A jumbled mind constantly cluttered with distracting thoughts
- Over-analyzing life and life's events
- Forgiveness, not only forgiveness toward others, but forgiveness toward ourselves for our own faults, real or imagined
If you are not sure that meditation is for you, or are having a difficult time calming your thoughts and clearing your mind, you may want to consider scheduling a private class called the "Sampler Meditation Class" .
Sampler Meditation Classes teach minimum of 5 different meditation methods or techniques for stress-reduction and relaxation at each class, and a meditation support gift is included with each session.
This provides guests with an opportunity to experience and learn a variety of ways to de-stress and lessen anxiety, anger, grief, worry, sadness, frustration, and other negative emotions and mind-sets. Something you learn is sure to speak to you!
Not everyone is cut-out to sit quietly in traditional meditation stillness. However, you can still reap the benefits of meditation through techniques and practices that speak to you, your personality, and your attention level.
Here are some of the easy-to-learn methods that can be taught throughout the "Sampler Meditation Class":
• Guided Meditation

• EFT (Tapping)
• Visualization
• Breathing Techniques and Breath Work
