The Miracle of Meditation

 "If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation."  
---Dalai Lama




Meditation is a powerful adeptness for anyone and we are learning (remembering really) that when we have this modeled to us as children the reverberations are profound!

On a physical level, scientific studies have found that meditation: 

                    * increases levels of immunity
                    * prevents and/or reduces cancer and autoimmune disorders
                    * improves hyperactivity and attention deficit disorders
                    * alleviates respiratory disorders and digestive problems
                    * reduces the severity of asthma and panic attacks

On a mental and emotional level, experts have found that meditation:
                  
                   * encourages a healthy sense of self
                   * promotes well-being and self-esteem 
                   * increases focus, concentration and problem solving skills
                   * fosters awareness and creativity 
                   * instills connection, understanding, and compassion

On a Universal level many believe that meditation is a large part of the solution for world peace. When we are at peace with ourselves and no longer fighting a physical, mental, or emotional war ~ we can be true peacemakers within our world.

In Sweet Stillness,
