Meditation

If you're nervous about the idea of learning to meditate. . .

The first thing most people tell me is that they don’t believe they can learn to meditate. Other people, yes-but them, no. Here’s what I’ve come to know: if you can breathe, you can meditate. Working one-on-one you will learn simple, user-friendly ways to reduce stress that you can use where ever you are. We begin with practices that help you relax and focus your mind. Then we bring our attention to noticing what is going on in our minds, bodies and around us, and learn to respond rather than react to thoughts, feelings, people and events. Little by little the noise in our head quiets and our lives become more manageable.

Meditation has been proven to help with:

job, family or personal stress
excessive worry, anxiety or panic
headaches
depression and anxiety
chronic pain and chronic fatigue
fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome
heart disease, high blood pressure
sleep disturbances
or if you simply feel your life is “out of control” or “not in balance”

Being mindful is becoming aware of how we react to both internal and external experiences. Our minds race on all day long with or without our conscious attention. Difficult circumstances in our lives can upset and anger us. Learning to purposefully pay attention to what goes on in our mind and body affords us the opportunity to choose how to respond and meditation can help us learn to do this.

Through instruction and practice you will systematically learn skills that can increase your ability to relax, focus your mind, improve your ability to cope more effectively with stressful situations, and enhance your ability to cope with pain.
