Why learn about meditation?

In a world where everything is changing so rapidly, knowing how to stay grounded in yourself is of the essence, for your health and life enjoyment. Meditation is a profoundly grounding practice. It will help you access a state where you feel calm, clear-minded, and able to navigate your life's circumstances with ease. As such, it truly is a life skill.

Meditation has been shown to lower high blood pressure, relieve stress, anxiety, depression, increase focus, creativity, productivity, and more.

Why focus on my emotions?

If you are human, you most likely experience a bunch of emotions daily! Emotions have so much energy in them, but that energy needs to be channeled and circulated efficiently, otherwise it can turn destructive and make it difficult for your meditation practice to get off the ground. Conversely, one might be able to "sit down to meditate", yet do nothing but battle with thoughts, restlessness, or boredom. In this course you will learn how to meet and regulate the energy of your emotions in order to ease into meditation.

Some of the exercises you will complete:

• Clarify your intention(s) for your meditation practice, to get results

• Practice progressive muscle relaxation

• Learn abdominal, or diaphragmatic breathing

• Take a questionnaire to determine your ayurvedic constitution (or dosha)

• Take a questionnaire to determine your current emotional state based on the Five Elements, and how to balance it out
