Experience the transformative power of group meditation
Meditation doesn’t need to be a solo journey. Meditating with a group of people enhances your focus, fosters connection, improves motivation and overall creates a different energy than when you are alone.
As Jon Kabat-Zinn’s book so aptly implies, meditation allows us to literally and figuratively come to our senses. (Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World through Mindfulness by Jon Kabat-Zinn.)
Did you know?
Mindfulness meditation is as effective as an anti-depressant for treating anxiety?(1) In the first randomized clinical trial to compare these two treatments, Georgetown University researchers proved that a program of guided mindfulness meditation was as effective as the use of a gold-standard anti-depressive drug.
This is far from the only study of mindfulness meditation’s effect on depression, anxiety and health in general. Evidence for the health benefits of meditation have been so profound that researchers have turned their attention to the “mechanism of action”, in other words, how meditation improves our health so significantly.
According to Deborah Norris, Ph.D., Founder of The Mindfulness Center, the clinical benefits of mindfulness practices have been explored “for treatment of just about every mental and physical health condition known to humankind” and “…the practice of meditation has been found to affect clinical outcomes for most every clinical condition defined by medical science.”(2) Mindfulness meditation has been shown to improve skin conditions, reduce the incidence of heart disease and major cardiac events, relieve or drastically reduce chronic pain, enhance the health of diabetics and improve quality of life and survival outcomes for cancer patients.

If meditation were a medication, it would be a blockbuster drug!
