Course Details

There are numerous documented physical, emotional and mental health benefits to having a meditation practice as part of your daily life.

As a means of conquering stressful thinking, negative behavior patterns and many debilitating health issues, the art of meditation is a life skill second to none.

The benefits of meditation are manifold because it can reverse your stress response, thereby shielding you from the effects of chronic stress. Meditation affects the body in exactly the opposite ways that stress does, restoring the body to a calm state, helping the body to repair itself, and preventing new damage due to the physical effects of stress.

When practicing meditation, your heart rate and breathing slow down, your blood pressure normalizes, you use oxygen more efficiently, and you sweat less. Your adrenal glands produce less cortisol, your mind ages at a slower rate, and your immune function improves. Your mind also clears and your creativity increases. People who meditate regularly find it easier to give up life-damaging habits like smoking, drinking and drugs.
