WHAT IS MEDITATION?

The key to meditation is to concentrate so thoroughly that the mediator reaches a different state of consciousness.

When a person is overwhelmed with stress, life, kids, work, or anything that is making them edgy they can meditate to relieve stress.

WHY

After meditation people often report feeling thoroughly relaxed. They sometimes relate that they have gained new insights into themselves and their problems. Long term practice of meditation may even improve health because of physiological changes it produces.

THE BENEFITS

The fundamentals include sitting in a quiet room with eyes closed, breathing deeply, and rhythmically, and repeating a word or sound. Ex: the word one over and over. Practiced twice a day for 20 minutes, the technique is effective in bringing you relaxation!

IT’S EASY!
