Meditation has been touted for years as the path towards inner peace and balance. It is an excellent tool in dealing with physical and psychological stress and can help us “stay in the present moment”.

However, many people find it difficult to begin this process on their own, without a teacher or guide. I am happy to share meditations with my clients and can prepare specific guided meditations geared to individual needs/goals/issues. Let’s share a calm and quiet moment as I lead you step by step, on a peaceful, refreshing journey. Namasté.

PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF MEDITATION

With meditation, one’s physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more prana (energy). This results in joy, peace and enthusiasm as the level of ‘prana’ in the body increases. On a physical level, meditation may lead to the following as listed on www.artofliving.org:

• Lowers high blood pressure
• Decreases any tension-related pain such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint issues
• Lowers levels of cortisol and blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks
• Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior
• Improves the immune system
• Increases energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy
