Guided Meditation
"Quiet the Mind and The Soul Will Speak"
~Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
WHAT IS MEDITATION?
Meditation can be defined as a set of practices that are intended to heighten our awareness, focus our attention, and center the mind. Every major religion in the world uses some form of meditation, but the art of meditation itself is not linked to any particular lineage or religion. For this reason, anyone who belongs to any faith, and those who do not subscribe to a particular faith can practice it.
Meditation can be also used in variety of psychotherapeutic environments as a method towards stress release and trauma recovery.
