- NEW! Meditation with Carol
-
Meditation has been defined as a way to quiet the mind, connect with our inner self, and even heal our body. It has been used for centuries within most spiritual and religious settings. In the Western world it is being accepted not only as a spiritual practice, but also as an adjunct to other therapies to treat chronic pain, lower blood pressure, treat PTSD, and boost our immune system. It is a useful tool for everyone to disconnect from the constant negative news, traffic jams and all that challenges you. Daily meditation can provide insight into different levels of consciousness and science has now shown that longterm meditators can obtain other physical benefits.
This is class is designed for beginners and will cover not only the practice of, but the science behind meditating.
