Meditation

Meditation has many different forms and functions. People seek meditation for different reasons including mindfulness, emotional regulation and connection to intuition or inner guidance. It’s practiced in numerous religious traditions and has also been adopted in the workplace for employee and company wellness and productivity. Meditation is not a one-size fits all model but rather it can be molded to reflect your own objectives and lifestyle.

Meditation has many benefits including:

• Lowers heart rate

• Better oxygen consumption

• Regulates sympathetic nervous system activity

• Improves sleep

• Reduces depression and anxiety

• Increases ability to focus.

The key to reaping the benefits of meditation is consistency. Although you may instantly feel the impact of sitting one-time the impact will fade quickly, by developing a daily practice you can re-wire your brain for long-term, sustained change to the way your mind and body function.
