Benefits of Meditation for Better Health
There are many benefits of meditation, as well as numerous meditation techniques. Let’s start by defining what meditation is, and why it’s important for better health.
Meditation is a practice to quiet your mind. By slowing down the mind’s activity (your self-talk and obsessive thinking) you experience relaxation, inner peace, love, and joy.
Many of us spend every waking hour either re-living a past wound or fearful about the future. The object of meditation is to focus your attention in the present moment and quiet the mind’s chatter. When you learn to focus on the present moment your fears, suffering and insecurities are transformed.

R.S.V.P. for Mindfulness Weight Reduction Meditations
“Practicing meditation cultivates wisdom and loving kindness. Exploring mindfulness through Insight Meditation makes a tangible contribution to peace and counters the hostility and fear so prevalent in the world today. As wisdom arises in our hearts and minds, we meet each moment with presence and awareness; we see ourselves and the world with new eyes and aspire to new levels of engagement and compassionate action.
Conscious choices made from states of clarity and insight bring many benefits. These choices improve our lives, the well-being of our loved ones and friends, improve our society, and contribute to the health of humanity and the planet we inhabit. As more and more of us practice, the ripples of wisdom become waves of peaceful, positive change.”
