Throughout the day, when we experience stress, our bodies automatically react in ways that prepare us to fight or run. In some cases of extreme danger, this physical response is helpful. However, a prolonged state of such agitation can bring about many health concerns.
Though meditation is usually recognized as a spiritual practice, it is especially effective in helping to manage both the physical indicators and emotional strain of stress and anxiety. Meditation works in its ability to train our minds to clear away distractions that interfere with thought clarity, it relaxes our mind and enhances its ability to recover. Continued meditation conditions our mind to better control emotional anxiety.
By strengthening the mind and reprogramming our way of thinking using repetitive positive affirmations we become emotionally stronger and better equipped to mentally accept criticism and other “tricky situations” that occur in the events of a day. All these health benefits can be gained by meditating for a mere 10 minutes a day.
Some people are able to meditate on their own while others prefer the help of Guided Meditation through attending classes or listening to a CD. Our Take Ten Meditation CD’s are specifically designed for the busy person.
Each CD has 5 Ten Minute guided meditations accompanied by music and nature sounds. I’ve found the best way to utilize a meditation CD is during sleep. I put it on before I go to bed and allow my subconscious to fully experience what the CD has to offer. If you would like to listen to a CD we have a sampler available instore.
There are six CD’s to choose from.
- Optimum Health - control your health and boost your immune system
- Detox - revitalise your body, mind and spirit
- Calm - realease stress and anxiety
- Nature Retreats - retreat into the world of nature
- Quick Getaways - feel refreshed and re-energised
- Nurture Your Spirit - reconnect your spirit with peace and happiness
Meditation works because it is medicine for the mind, body and soul.
