Registration Open for Meditation Course

The variety of meditation techniques and traditions is many, but the essence of meditation is singular; the cultivation of mindful awareness and expanded consciousness.  For thousands of years people have used meditation in order to experience clarity of present-moment awareness and peace, and realize the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.  A regular meditation reverses the fight-or-flight (stress) reaction, helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and reduces the heart rate and the oxygen requirement of the body by 10-20% in the first 3 minutes. (this is the effect produced by medication to lower high blood pressure without the side effects!).

Join this six week course and not only reap the physical benefits, but experience unity with your self and our world.
