Meditation

When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives: We lower our stress levels, we get to know ourselves, we connect better, we improve our focus, and we're kinder to ourselves and others. During these sessions you will learn several different styles of mediation including breathing space, body scan, mindfulness of breathing and the loving kindness practice. We will discuss the benefits of regular meditation practice.
