Introduction to Meditation and Mental Rehearsal
Ann Ide, Trainer, and Life Coach, New possibilities Coaching
Are you aware of the benefits of meditating, but can’t get yourself to do it, or you think it’s too difficult? Research proves that meditation can
-
reduce your stress, inflammations and pain, blood pressure and risk of heart disease; and it reverses aging
-
increase your creativity and mental abilities, focus and concentration, and your general health and longevity
-
also relieve anxiety and emotional problems, help you make better decisions, and give you improved mood stability
The list goes on, but would any one of these be reason enough to give it a try?
In sum, meditation can be one of the easiest and most effective means to living with greater harmony, happiness and well-being. And, you don’t have to sit in silence for long periods of
time to gain the multitude of emotional and physical benefits You’ll learn
-
some simple techniques you can do for yourself for any length of time that is comfortable for you
-
how to easily get into a meditative state and create pleasurable feelings
-
tips and techniques to help you succeed at meditating, as well as how to use mental rehearsal for improving performance and to influence how you will behave and respond in future situations
We will not be doing traditional silent meditations. The class will consist of two to three guided meditations. All you have to do is let go and listen to the facilitator’s voice as she leads you through the process, like listening to a good story.
You’re sure to leave feeling totally relaxed and in a great mood. Come to experience how simple and delightful meditation can be.
