The Buddha in meditation
Meditation
It is widely accepted that spending time each day in a quiet, relaxed state of being can benefit us in many ways. For ailments such as high blood pressure, insomnia, or general stress, medical doctors recognize meditation as a way to reduce the symptoms related to these complicated syndromes. Generating momentum in this area can be very difficult though, as daily stressors pull us away from this needed quiet time.
My expertise in this area can make the creation of a daily meditation practice a reality. One key is not to expect huge, earth-shattering results right away. Much of the benefits of meditation come from slowly building momentum in the practice and believing in yourself. When each person is ready, they will begin having the "wonderful" experiences that mystics have written about for ages. In the beginning though, there is fun in creating a practice and doing something new and different. The frusterations of the never quieting mind is not a focus. The mind will do its thing ad infinitum. The practice that is taught here is to become the observer of the mind. To observe and eventually separate what is yours, and who you are.
Meditation is not a religious practice for most, it is a spiritual one. More and more people though, are turning to meditation as a concrete way to help their physical health. I offer meditation programs that are for either the spiritually inclined or the total beginner who needs to overcome a very real physical, emotional, or mental problem.
