Quite simply, Meditation refers to the art of relaxation. It is a technique that can be learned in order to opt out of the stress response and to opt into the relaxation response, even during intensely stressful situations.

 

By learning this technique of concentrated focus upon  a sound, an object, the breath, movement, visualisation or super focussed attention itself, we can train our brains to take a break from active thought and begin to cultivate a deeper connection with our spiritual aspect.

 

By engaging in regular practice, you will be boosting your immune system, calming your nervous system and bringing a greater sense of calm into all areas of your day-to-day life.
