Benefits of Meditation

Health
A daily meditation practice can reduce stress levels, alleviate episodes of chronic pain, lower high blood pressure, ease insomnia, strengthen immunity, and soothe anxiety and depression.

Emotionally Positive
Psychotherapists Alberto Perez-De-Albeniz and Jeremy Holmes stated in the International Journal of Psychotherapy that meditation encourages positive thinking and patience. A generous acceptance of ‘what is’ rather than ‘what might have been’. Not so much the content of our lives but how we relate to that content. Befriending our experience without trying to fix it.

Focus and Effectiveness
Meditation increasingly equips us to choose what we give our attention to. Like a top athlete we can be ‘totally in’ what we’re doing. Instead of being all caught up in the past or fantasising about the future we begin to be more fully present. We enjoy more and more a freedom from all that distorts our deepest creativity, even our preoccupations we learn to sit easy to.

Positive Relationships
Meditation is known to awaken self-esteem and emotional buoyancy and the attraction of more warmth and kindness from others as well as one being able to express more warmth and compassion to others. People often report an improvement in their relationships with self and other.

“We are powerful beyond measure…and as we let our own light shine…our presence automatically liberates others."
Nelson Mandela
