Meditation

Susan creates various workshops throughout the year to participate in to learn and practice meditation.

There are many health benefits that result from practicing meditation. As we meditate and expand our consciousness we open ourselves up to love and light and begin to see things from a more loving, spiritual view. We become more tolerant of others and find more inner peace and joy...that inner peace touches everyone we come in contact with.

Stress can often be a daily part of our lives. When we become stressed the nervous system responds with an adrenaline rush and either reacts or retreats in response to the stressful experience. The response involves all parts of the nervous system, as well as the endocrine system, and can be consciously or unconsciously mediated. Just driving our cars can be a stressful experience that many perform daily. As meditation is practiced regularly, we find that we are able to handle everyday problems in a calmer and more relaxed manner as we begin to see our problems and difficulties from a new perspective. Through meditation, we can train our bodies to work with the breath and so respond to life rather than react.

Many studies have been done that show how our lives are enhanced both spiritually and physically by meditation. Mental benefits such as increased mental clarity, improved emotional well-being, increased happiness, improved memory, increased creativity, and improved relationships.

The physical benefits include a decrease in respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure. Meditation will calm an agitated mind, creating optimal physical and mental health, undoing our sense of separateness, which is the common root of fear and misery. Consistent meditation practice assists us in becoming conscious soul incarnated personas. This is when our persona is the willing servant of the soul's purpose and mission.
