Meditation Classes
Meditation is a mindfulness exercise that focuses on the connections between the mind, body and behavior. While meditating, you focus your attention and energy on positive visualizations and controlled breathing, which increases calmness and relaxation. Meditation has been around for centuries and has been shown to provide many health benefits when practiced regularly.
Benefits of meditation
Meditation, also known as mindfulness, is a method of self-care that allows us to reflect on our own mental and spiritual well-being. It is a great way to help address symptoms of a busy, overly stressed life, such as worry, anxiety, pain, and sleep issues.
Meditation helps to free the mind from life’s distractions and still racing thoughts. Through the discipline of meditation, we learn to concentrate within, discover our center, and experience wellness, joy and peace. Whether you want to address symptoms of chronic health conditions or negative emotions, meditation can help.
Meditation can help manage a range of conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Symptoms of cancer treatment
- Chronic pain
- Depression
- High blood pressure
- Insomnia
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Menopause symptoms
- Smoking cessation
