Beginner Meditation Class
Thursday, September 16th, 6:30 - 7:30/8:00 pm
with Cindy Pederson
$5 per person
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 cause physical damage to every
part of the body. Meditation affects the body in exactly the
opposite way that stress does - it restores the body to a calm state,
helps the body to repair itself, and prevents new damage due to the
physical effects of stress.
The Benefits of Meditation:
The benefits of meditation are manifold. When practicing
meditation, your heart rate and breathing slow down, your blood
pressure normalizes, you use oxygen more efficiently, and you sweat
less. Also, your adrenal glands produce less cortisol, your mind
ages at a slower rate, and your immune function improves. Your mind
also clears, and your creativity increases. People who meditate
regularly find it easier to give up life-damaging habits like smoking,
drinking and drugs.
Meditation is wonderful in that it's free, always available, and
amazingly effective in short-term stress reduction and long-term
health. Benefits can be felt in just one session.
In this class we
will discuss the many benefits of Meditation, then practice four
different beginner Meditation techniques so that you may find the right
one for you to begin your own Meditation practice.
Bring a pillow or cushion to sit on. Minimum of 3 to hold class. 1 to 1 1/2 hrs.
Bring a friend!!
Cheese, crackers and wine available before and after class.
Cindy Pederson lives near Lake Mills, IA. She is a Reiki Practitioner
and a Therapeutic Coach practicing Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Psychology
for which she received her certificates at the Meta Institute, Minneapolis,
MN. Cindy currently sees clients at the Healing House in Clear Lake, IA.
She began her meditation practice as the result of a medical issue created
from stress. Cindy enjoys sharing what she has learned about this technique with others,
which offers many long term health benefits.
