Mindfulness Meditation

Meditation Defined:

The Mayo Clinic states that meditation is a type of mind-body complementary medicine. Our minds are usually filled with thoughts of experiences in the past, or our worries and anxieties about the future - all of which can increase our stress. Meditation is a very natural way of releasing stress and bringing the mind to the present moment.

Benefits of Meditation:

Benefits of meditation include improved clarity of mind, increased focus and concentration, enhanced physical and emotional well-being and increased energy to meet your goals.
