Meditation

A practice that has been observed for centuries throughout the world, meditation provides countless benefits for your spirit, mind, and body. Although meditation is not done with the purpose of “accomplishing” anything, as we typically define accomplishment, it is known that engaging in meditation regularly does in fact:

• Lower stress levels
• Increase energy and creativity
• Reduce anxiety and ease symptoms of depression
• Strengthen the immune system
• Reduce blood pressure and protect against heart disease

How does meditation work?

The goal of meditation is to connect with your sacred space inside—to simply be. Meditation allows you to shut down the chatter of everyday life and its problems, bringing you beyond the limitations of body, thought, and emotions to access a profound stillness within. The Yoga Nidra style of meditation, guides you to learn to be at peace with what is, and discover the key to unlocking what could be. Connecting with your inner calm helps you become a “happy surfer,” with the ability to remain content and in control through life’s ups and downs.
