Meditation Group It is easy to learn and to do because it rides on a natural process and flows with the mind, not against it. It is very graceful and accepting. Within minutes of starting a non-striving form of meditation—and, it must be this kind—the body and mind automatically turn on a built-in function that creates the environment, or foundation, of the meditative experience. The body metabolism slows, and the mind opens up and settles down. During this process, the mind and body work in the background to repair and rejuvenate themselves. This complex, intelligent and effective function arises as naturally as sleep, yet works on a different set of mind/body issues than does sleep. It has earned a reputation as an aid to modern, active living. Like health food, jogging, and alternative medicine, meditation is often credited with increasing energy, creativity, sexuality, intelligence, coordination, assertiveness; decreasing headaches, weight, hypertension, stress, and smoking. Here’s a short list of the kinds of personal attributes associated with meditative development. Quite Mind/Peaceful Mind Integrity Concentration Effective Thinking Happiness Improved Health More Balanced Living Selflessness Understanding & Compassion More Intune With Your Body Breath Work & Stretching Group Oxygen is the first and most basic necessity of life. Stress is the first and most basic causative factor of muscle tension and pain. Optimal breathing brings oxygen into your muscles and helps release stress and tension from your body. The result is heightened energy and awareness while reducing the discomforts brought on by improper breathing. Stress is mirrored in your breath. When you are enduring stress, you tend to breathe more shallowly. The carbon dioxide level in the blood rises and the oxygen level decreases. The first step in regaining optimal breath, and its benefits, is to become aware of your breathing patterns and to recognize when you are not breathing correctly. Every time you feel yourself become tense, proper breathing can be employed and your sense of well being will begin to improve. We practice diaphramic breath work for an hour in a casual, comfortable setting. You will want to wear loose comfortable clothing. Check our calender for dates.
