“Quiet the mind, and the soul will speak.” – Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
We welcome you to join us in a 4-week immersive journey into the healing and restorative practice of Meditation! This educational and relaxing Life in Balance Healing Therapies Meditation series is designed for the beginner as well as those looking to rekindle or enhance their existing practice. Winter is the perfect time for initiating more self-care practices, as we find ourselves in colder, darker spaces and in the belly of our root season. Winter is a season of inner growth and needed rest and a time to carry your own sunshine which is the perfect pairing for Meditative Practices! We will explore many of these meditative practices, healing modalities & techniques, including Praanaayaam (Yogic Breathing), Mindfulness, Transformation, Mantra, Guided, Moving, Chakra Balancing, Healing Arts, Body Scan and Loving Kindness Meditations. Each session will begin with an informative lesson sharing and end with a guided meditation practice. We will discuss and experience the magnitude of benefits Meditation provides which includes immune system enhancement, lowered blood pressure, stress & anxiety relief, pain management, mental focus, emotional well-being, increased self-awareness, sleep improvement, and so much more! We will be informed on how to overcome existing challenges and mindset obstacles such as the commonly heard “I can't meditate, my mind is too busy” and the idea that joy, peace, and contentment come from external situations in our human existence. If you are feeling called to begin a beautiful self-care meditation practice, we would love to guide your curiosity and hold space for your healing path!
