To meditate is to focus thoughts on, reflect
on, to ponder over, to plan or project in the mind ~ intend, purpose.
The term meditation is used in relation to controlling and disciplining
the mind. As an alternative therapy it is a mind-body process that
can produce physical benefit from mental concentration. There is
scientifically-accepted evidence that the mind in meditation can
effect physiologic changes in the human body. Mental control is
the basis of effective meditation. Concentration is essential in
meditation. This concentration of focus overcomes the mind's usual
habit of flitting from one subject to another.
Even without fully understanding the power of
meditation, it is not difficult to accept the idea that the mind
can affect the body. Consider what happens in a state of high excitement
or fear. The pulse races, muscles tense. Meditation can influence
physiologic behaviour as well, although typically producing a calming,
peaceful reaction.
Meditation is a complementary way to manage stress
or distress. Meditation can help people relax which, in turn, can
reduce stress and even relieve pain. Meditation eliminates thoughts
of the past and the future. It promotes a stronger sense of personal
control over one's journey and life. It is widely believed that
stress is harmful to the body. Successful meditation results in
clearing the mind of all distractions, including those that create
stress, discomfort, worry, pain, and fear. Some people report rich
sensory experiences and personal spiritual growth from meditation.
Meditation with a guide - a professional guide
leading an individual or group. A guide can teach you the basics
of meditation, help you stay focused and meditate more deeply. Some
guides can intuitively help you find the source of an issue and
the resolution to a challenge. A guided group meditation usually
has a particular goal such as spiritual growth, relaxation, or enhancing
physical healing. A guided group meditation is usually less expensive
than a private session.
Although guided meditation may be used for healing,
the guide does not heal you. Victoria’s soft voice, relaxing
music, along with the power of the Crystal Bowls, will be your guide
to inner peace. This combination will restore the flow of energy
and your natural health.

To Be Away From the Noise,
The Stress, the Bustle,
Where Not Even A Leaf
Dares To Rustle.
Like A Tranquil Reef,
In A Stormy Sea.
All Thoughts That Come,
Disturbs Not Those
That Have Become As One.
With Ebbing Breath
And thoughts Of None,
The Path to Serenity
Will Be Won By Those
Who Have Become
As The Tranquil Reef,
Unto
Eternity.
