Today is World Meditation Day(1) as designated by the United Nations.
I would like to share it with you by guiding you through a 5 minute meditation.
The benefits of meditation are legion and many have been confirmed by academic research, including:
1. Improves immune function(2)
2. Lowers blood pressure(2)
3. Improves Mood (2)
4. Decreases anxiety(2)
Meditation’s purpose is to make us more ‘sane and sensitive,’ as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of the Art of Living program said this morning.
It is also to help us become more aware, more mindful, and less reactive.
Join me right now in taking a pause in your day to meditate with me. Give yourself this gift. Notice how you feel afterwards. And you can use this technique anytime.
Dr. Jill Baron Brief Meditation
As many of you know from my book, Don’t Mess with Stress™, I have been a long time meditator and practitioner of Transcendental Meditation, and I have also learned the Art of Living breathing technique, and Mindfulness Meditation.
Meditating twice daily most days is an important part of my health regimen.
Please note, there is not one way or technique to meditate. To learn more about meditation, please see my book, Don’t Mess with Stress™, and also visit these websites, www.tm.org, www.artofliving.org, https://mbsrtraining.com.
I hope that as the holidays are upon us, we can take time for ourselves to pause and meditate. May the benefits we get empower us to be kinder and gentler with ourselves and others.
With warm regards,
Dr. Jill
