   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.
