The demands and stresses of modern life are wearing us down. Many of us survive by learning to endure. We swallow anger, slog through depression, feel futile & frustrated. While you may think this “survival” is just one of the less pleasant facts of life, it doesn’t have to be.

Everyone Benefits From Meditation

Dancers become graceful and effortless in their movement. Meditation can help develop graceful and effortless use of the mind.

An untrained mind will be easily distracted. Unguided, we end up stuck in feedback loops of negativity. Emotion can overwhelm and derail us. These stressors manifest in the body; high blood pressure, asthma from bad breathing habits, low energy levels, etc.

The meditation training you will receive here focuses on skills you can use immediately to relieve these issues. Absolutely everyone can do our exercises. Sitting still doesn’t have to be easy for you. You don’t have to endure hours of boredom. Boredom is a sign that meditation has not been properly explained to you.

We start with a series of simple breathing exercises (the first of which you can start within this video) to physically release some pent-up stress and give us more energy. The body and mind are interconnected, so relieving tension from one relieves the other.

Also, studies show that brain cells use 10-12x more oxygen than the rest of the body. Just by improving the quality of your breath, we will improve the state of your mind.
