Benefits of Meditation

Per Hayhouse Publications:


You can hardly open a major news publication these days without seeing yet another scientific study raving about the incredible benefits of meditation.


Meditation has been proven to extend your life . . . create more happiness . . . increase inner peace . . . lower stress levels . . . increase mental clarity . . . resolve long-standing emotional problems, including fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and substance abuse . . . and it's one of the best things you can do for your brain!


With nothing but bad news everywhere you turn (the economy, politics, health scares), people are smothering under a blanket of stress, and meditation is one of the best ways to raise your threshold for stress.


Note from Kristen:
Meditation is not a complicated process nor is it hard to learn.  Simply stated, meditation is about creating a space in your mind/soul to open up to messages and insights from Source.  When  our mind is clear we are in a space of receiving and it has been said that, "Our mind is like a bowl of rice, if it is full there is no place to accept more."
For those that don't understand what meditation actually "feels" like, it is the space that we "daydream" in.  It's those moments of time when our thoughts are free flowing through our minds.  We stay unattached to any of them.  They pass through and oftentimes, clarity comes from this.  Sometimes we may not remember our messages, but rest assured, they have sunk into your consciousness and have elevated you to a higher level.
Meditation has become a daily practice for me.  I feel it is something that serves as the doorway to communicating with Source and helps me daily to follow my pathway with the least resistance.  My life is more peaceful and less bumpy when I listen with my heart/body/soul.
I wish you great success in formulating meditation into your life.  What beautiful changes will accompany that practice.
