Welcome To The Meditation Center
Learning about meditation opens the door to greater mental clarity, reduced stress, and enhanced emotional resilience. By practicing meditation, we gain tools to manage daily challenges and cultivate a deeper sense of peace. It's an important practice that supports both mind and body in maintaining balance and well-being.
What is Meditation?
Meditation is the practice of training your awareness to achieve mental clarity and emotional calmness. Modern research suggests that meditation helps to improve stress, anxiety, and depression, along with many other benefits. One study done at the University of British Columbia found that the anterior cingulate cortex (associated with controlling impulses and maintaining attention) of those that practiced regular meditation had thicker tissue in the regions responsible for body awareness, enhanced focus, stress management, and attention, and the amygdala (responsible for processing sadness, anxiety, and a myriad of negative emotions) was found to shrink in size.
