What we’re about
Welcome to Singles Odyssey's Meetup Group, a group catering to singles, newly single people, and almost single people ~grin~. We are all about singles! Are you looking to meet & socialize with other singles in the area? Our group is filled with friendly, genuine, sociable, warm, happy and fun loving singles ranging in age from late 20’s to 50’s. It would be a pleasure to have you join us. Anyone over 21 is welcome. THE MORE THE MERRIER!
We host a variety of singles events, giving singles many flavors of venues to choose from, nightlife to car shows, from Long Beach to San Juan Capistrano, and have been hosting fun singles events catering to single people for over 5 years and will continue to do so. These events usually draw anywhere from 20-600+ friendly and attractive singles. Our events are hosted to offer you the opportunity to meet, mix, mingle with other singles, make new friends and have fun with the possibility of meeting that “special someone”. We cater to the singles in the So Cal area. Our events do not have a meat market or a pick up bar atmosphere.
We cordially invite you and your single friends to become members of this friendly, fun loving, social singles group. The purpose of this group is to make and build friendships as well as personal relationships.
For the FULL Singles Odyssey Experience go to www.SinglesOdyssey.org. You can directly access all of our on-line resources from there including YouTube Videos from our events and more.
WELCOME!

MEDITATION
We have heard and read of the positive benefits from Meditation. Meditation can help slow the mind and open the heart. The only thing we control is our attitude. Personal changes and transformation are an ‘Inside Job’. Go within as we attract not what we want but what we are.
Physical Benefits of Meditation
With meditation, the physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more energy. This results in joy, peace, enthusiasm as the level of energy in the body increases.
On a physical level, meditation:
· Lowers high blood pressure
· Lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks
· Decreases tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems
· Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior
· Improves the immune system
· Increases the energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy
Mental Benefits of Meditation
Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into a relaxed state that promotes healing. The mind becomes fresh, delicate and beautiful. With regular practice of meditation:
· Anxiety decreases
· Emotional stability improves
· Creativity increases
· Happiness increases
· Intuition develops
· Gain clarity
· Problems become smaller
Meditation sharpens the mind by increasing focus and expands through relaxation
A sharp mind without expansion causes tension, anger and frustration
An expanded consciousness without sharpness can lead to lack of action/progress
The balance of a sharp mind and an expanded consciousness brings perfection
Meditation makes you aware - that your inner attitude determines your happiness.
