Why Meditate?

 

The main reason most people suffer with stress is because they don’t have the right tools to address it.  Many of us are struggling with feelings of:

• overwhelm

• fear

• feeling out of balance

• experiencing restless sleep

• searching for deeper fulfillment that rarely seems to come

​

We all have our own unique reasons for wanting to learn how to meditate.  I wanted to learn to meditate because I desired more peace.  I wanted to establish what Wayne Dyer taught me, “conscious contact with the “Great Mystery” through connecting to the silence that rests within.  But that’s just me – maybe you just want to slow down the onslaught of thoughts, become more present and stop living in the past or the future, or maybe you just received news that someone you love has been diagnosed with a life threatening diagnosis and you are overwhelmed with fear based thoughts and emotions.  Or, maybe YOU are the person facing a life challenging diagnosis and find you are scaring yourself with every thought you think.  Perhaps you are looking to sleep better, lower your blood pressure, breathe more easily, boost your immune system, ease some pain both emotional and physical, make better choices and decisions, get better grades, improve your memory, be a little more kinder, more patient, less reactive, more reflective, awaken creativity or experience less stressful moments.

​

Meditation is the antidote to stress. The physical, emotional, and spiritual value of meditation has been well documented for thousands of years.  Now science has confirmed that meditation reduces blood pressure, lowers risk of heart attack and stroke, slows our breathing, reduces sensitivity to pain, boosts immune system, aids in wound management, improves memory, improves grades, helps you sleep better, makes you happier, kinder, more compassionate, decreases stress and anxiety AND there are no known side effects!  Science has proven that in less than eight weeks you will change the actual structure of your brain.  Once can change your day and more meditation will change your life.

 

Meditation helps us establish ourselves more fully in the present moment and slows down the fluctuations of our minds.  And since everything that happens to us happens in the present moment, it’s a good idea to cultivate our ability to be able to become aware of the present moment – the power moment - and witness it before we perform action.  I will teach you how to cultivate your ability to witness the present moment.
