68 Why Meditation is Awesome for your Mental/Emotional Health (Part 1 of 3)

Think of Meditation as mental-floss or good mental hygiene - for your mental and emotional health. 

As a meditation teacher, I am a massive meditation fan - and so I've put together a series of episodes, this one is Part 1, which goes through just a sampling of all the benefits of meditation for mental and emotional health.

The ways meditation is awesome - that are discussed in this episode are:

• Reduces stress across the board, which reduces anxiety & overwhelm 


• Increases your patience, which allows us to communicate with other better, to respond to the world more thoughtfully


• It centers your heart & Soul’s desires and curiosities, instead of external demands and approvals


• You are clearer with who you are, less distracted by the 3D world


• Being in Devotion to your heart & soul inspires courage and boldness, it no longer has to be forced or cultivated


• Enhances attention span and focus and memory retention after just as little as 10mins a day for 8 weeks according to one study. 


• 60 people in a 2018 study, receiving treatment for alcohol use disorder, linked meditation with lower stress levels, reduced psychological distress, reduced cravings, and lower alcohol use after 3 months. 


• Reduces negative feelings


• Increases creativity 


• Our imagination impacts our physiology, use your mind for good - visualize how you want your life to be, visualize your dreams coming true. Your body and mind don’t work in linear time - it has no idea something you are visualizing didn’t really happen - get used to your mind working for you! 

I am designing a new experience, putting meditation, mindset/frequency and self-care practices together, to see how your life would improve when engaging with the magic that is all around us.
