For many thousands of years people have used meditation to move beyond the mind’s stress-inducing thoughts and emotional upsets into the peace and clarity of present moment awareness. There are a variety of meditation techniques, traditions, and technologies to choose from, but the essence of meditation is singular: the cultivation of mindful awareness and expanded consciousness. Usually for a purpose that you have in mind.

​

Some begin meditating because of a doctor’s recommendation, seeking the health benefits of lowered blood pressure, stress reduction, and restful sleep, improve memory. Others come to meditation seeking relief from the fearful, angry, or painful thoughts that constantly flood their mind. Still others come to meditation to find greater self-understanding, to increase their intuitive powers, or to improve their ability to concentrate.  Some seek out meditation to build a stronger connection between themselves and their higher power.

​

It is accurate to say that the purpose of meditation depends on the mediator – but it is also true that anyone who meditates regularly receives profound benefits on all these levels – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

​

There are over 3,000 documented studies that prove these benefits are real.
