Meditation & Mindfulness
Meditation & Mindfulness are often mistakenly thought to be one and the same thing but there is a subtle difference;
Meditation is the practice of slowing and stilling the mind so we can just be with ourselves in a calm and relaxed state giving ourselves time to reflect and contemplate any feelings or thoughts.
Mindfulness however is being in the moment with those feelings and thoughts and noticing and experiencing them fully without any judgement.
Practicing them together is a wonderful way to still our mind to the point where we can hear our inner self once again and become fully aware of how we are feeling.
Our body and mind are designed to heal themselves, but to do this we need to be free of any stress and anxiety and allow ourselves time to relax and just BE.
When practiced regularly Meditation is known to
reduce STRESS & ANXIETY
For most of us, our lives have become so busy that we get completely embroiled in our external world of material things, jobs, commitments and responsibilities. Now there is nothing wrong with this but when we consistantly do it to the detriment of our own Self, then we run the risk of becoming stressed and anxious and dissatisfied with our life, and can then be very prone to becoming physically and emotionally unwell.
​
Meditation is therefore a wonderfully simple and easy way to take care of ourselves from the inside out. As human beings we are meant to live a happy and peaceful life but this can only be achieved when we find happiness and peace on the inside first.
When practiced regularly Meditation is known to improve HEALTH
Meditation is like going to the gym. You can't go once and expect immediate results.
It's something that needs to become a daily practice and if you stick with it, meditation will change your life.....
Please remember that habits take time to establish, and that new neural connections take time to form.
Your ways of thinking will change, but not overnight.
When practiced regularly Meditation is known to improve CONCENTRATION & increase your ENERGY
Practicing meditation on your own can seem quite daunting especially when you're expected to sit quietly for a short period and try to still your mind and your thoughts. So to begin with it may be easier to listen to some Guided Meditations or attend a Meditation & Mindfulness course where you can sit back and relax and let someone talk you through the process.
