Meditation Challenge

Meditation is an incredibly helpful tool for bringing balance, health and peace into your life. I have been meditating since I was 15 years old and practicing on a daily basis has been transformational. New scientific research is finding that this ancient practice is not only helpful in bringing calm to your mind but can actually have a positive effect on your hormone levels, stress levels, blood pressure and heart rate.

For me, I initially started using meditation to help with the headaches I suffered from as a teenager. Whenever I would feel one coming on I would sit quietly and meditate for 20 to 30 minutes and the pain would fade away. When I was in my 20’s I found a daily meditation was helpful in dealing with stress and anxiety. In my 30’s I began to use more intensive meditation techniques to assist in my person journey of self-discovery. Today I use meditation to help me connect to Spirit and to expand my Reiki practice.

The Chopra Center (founded by the grandfather of modern meditation Deepak Chopra) is conducting a Meditation Challenge to help more people discover this incredible tool and how they can incorporate it into their lives. If you are interested in learning how to meditate or curious about how this practice can help you, this would be a great place to start. The link is http://www.chopra.com/meditationchallenge. Good luck and happy meditating!
