Don’t Be Afraid of a Little Meditation

We are in a time where people meditate. College students, stay at home moms, busy professionals, and the elderly; everyone is meditating. However, there are a few of us that get a little apprehensive when someone suggests meditation. We still picture meditation as some sort of uncomfortable sitting position involving some chanting in a long forgotten language. True, some people do meditate this way. But you are wrong if you think that is all meditation is.
While some people meditate to reach a higher level of spirituality, many of us meditate to reflect and to allow our minds to slow down. Meditating can be done on the couch, in the bathtub, or sitting on the floor. Meditation can involve chanting, prayer, or simply a quiet mind. There isn’t a right or wrong way of meditating.

The benefits of meditation reach from the spiritual and mental to actually improving your health and physical well being. Join us for meditation on Sunday nights at 9pm EST or come talk about your meditation practices in the Women’s Forum.
