Healthy relationships
Be your own master
When we meditate, the power of self-mastery within us grows. Automatically we become wiser and more self-disciplined. As bad habits fade our true self comes into view.
We all know what a long day feels like
By evening we have lost our motivation, and as the week wears on we feel drained. Did you know one of the main causes of fatigue is over-thinking? Meditation not only slows down our thought-process, but it also removes negative thoughts and worries from our mind, keeping us more positive and energized throughout the day.
Become a better version of yourself
We can't change others, but we can improve ourselves. Meditation helps us identify unhealthy patterns in our own life by increasing our wisdom, discretion, and self-respect. It also increases our compassion and forgiveness, helping us repair damaged relationships and move on from the past.
Be more focused and balanced
Whether we meditate or not we all experience stress from time to time. But meditation provides us with additional tools to help us manage our stress and not feel overwhelmed. We discover we are more able to focus and prioritize, we become more creative in our problem-solving, and we find we are more secure within ourselves and confident it our abilities.
Put depression in the past
We can become depressed when our past dominates our thoughts. Excessive feelings of regret and guilt, or of longing for a time gone by puts our emotions out of balance. We become negative and unmotivated. Meditation is a free and natural antidote to depression. It makes us more spontaneous and joyful, gradually breaking the unhealthy attachments to the past.
