Meditation

Accessible to everyone, this ancient practice allows one to gently disengage from the chatter of the mind and ego, and through the use of a “point of focus” such as a mantra or breath, merge with the present moment.  Done regularly, this practice brings health, balance, clarity, purpose and peace into ones life.

There are many reasons why people are drawn to meditation. For some, it is relief from stress, physical health problems, anxiety and depression, for others, it is simply seeking a deeper meaning to life.

Although meditation is an ancient practice, it has been relatively recently that the west has benefited from its effects in the modern world, due mostly to a blossoming of scientific study in this field.  At the bottom of the page I have listed some usefulness links to give a few examples of this research.
