Workshop - Meditation 101

Description

Don't know how to meditate or need some help getting started? The benefits of having a meditation practice are many, and doctors, psychologists, and healthcare professionals are learning that meditators live healthier, happier lives. Why? Meditation is a way of slowing down and can create a sense of peace and inner harmony. When you move into a state of meditation, your heart rate decreases and your body relaxes. Your brain waves alter and move from the normal waking wave patterns to slower, deeper waves, reflecting the deep state of relaxation of the mind. Emotionally, meditation brings calm and serenity if practiced regularly. Psychologically the benefits can be tremendous, bringing an increased ability to concentrate and hold a focus. Spiritually, meditation is the path to enlightenment, connecting with your higher self and your soul. Meditation can take you to states of bliss, peace and joy.
