Meditation

The brain waves of meditators show why they're healthier. Neuroscientists have found that meditators shift their brain activity to different areas of the cortex—brain waves in the stress-prone right frontal cortex move to the calmer left frontal cortex. In other words, they were calmer and happier than before. - Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., of the University of Massachusetts Medical School

-----------------------

These weekly gatherings are designed to support our practice and help us stay inspired, while also exploring the depth of meditation, both in philosophy and in technique.

Each week, we will experience different meditation practices, and also take time to reflect, to share, and to gently deepen our understanding of what meditation is opening within us. We will come to understand the process more clearly, including the natural ups and downs that may arise along the way. As we continue with patience and perseverance, a deeper shift begins to unfold within us, a transformation toward greater lightness, compassion, love, and joy.

There is something very special about practicing in a group. It offers a sense of connection, along with insights and inspiration that arise naturally through shared experience.

If you are unable to attend a session, that is completely fine. Each class will now be video-recorded, showing only myself, while still allowing you to hear the questions and interactions. You will also receive a handout so you can revisit the practices and themes at your own pace. This offers a supportive way to integrate the teachings in a manner that feels natural for you.

If you feel drawn to join us, it would be a pleasure to share this journey with you.

If you know someone who may be interested, please feel free to share this invitation. They are welcome to contact me directly for more information or to register.

Explore meditation with Lynne Cardinal, PhD. in Eastern Philosophy, author, guide, hypnotherapist and Transformation Coach. The techniques used will include breathing exercises tailored to your needs and various techniques from the Stabilizing and Contemplative meditation techniques.

Meditation is a simple but life-altering skill that can help you to relax, enhance self-awareness, and develop your potential. Learn how to use meditation to gain perspective and peacefulness in your life.

Meditation and emotional and physical well-being

When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress.

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful events

  • Focusing on the present

  • Reducing negative emotions

  • Increasing imagination and creativity

  • Increasing patience and tolerance

  • Lowering resting heart rate

  • Lowering resting blood pressure

  • Improving sleep quality

Through the learning of simple yet profound meditation practices, you will discover how to weave these effective techniques effortlessly into the rhythm of your daily life. With time, meditation becomes less something you do and more a way of being—supporting clarity, presence, and inner balance in the midst of everyday moments.

If you have health concerns, it is always beneficial to consult with your doctor if you are in doubt.
