Yoga Meditation

Meditation retreats and classes provide unique benefits when you are looking to explore a greater sense of community and guidance. In order to decide between a retreat or a class, it is important to understand not only the distinction between the two but also your lifestyle and desires.

What is Meditation?

Meditation is a state of mind in which the person focuses their attention on one single thing. When the persons mind, or attention, naturally wanders to another thought, the person brings their attention back to their original focus. This process, also referred to as mindfulness is both simple – anyone can do it – and difficult, because ones mind always wanders.

Forms of Meditation

While the term meditation brings to mind someone sitting cross-legged on the floor and chanting, there are many ways to practice mindful exercise and achieve the healthful benefits associated with doing so. A very common meditation technique is to simpy sit quietly in a comfortable chair, close ones eyes, and focus ones attention solely on observing ones breathing. After a brief time of doing so, the mind inevitably wanders to other thoughts this is natural. The challenge is to bring ones attention back to the breathing. Spending twenty minutes a day in this practice provides surprising benefits. Mindful exercise can take the form of quiet prayer such as performing Hail Marys as practiced by Catholics, quietly listening intently to music, or focusing on a guided relaxation video. The choice of method is not important and the degree of success at focusing attention is not important. What matters is the concerted effort to maintain the mental state.
