Aches? Pains? Miseries? Meditation can help.

Physical, Emotional, and Mental Pains Can Be Lessened

by Jennifer Rose & Better Existence | November 20, 2014

Meditation is a peaceful, alert state of consciousness that results from practicing a series of increasingly subtle skills. Researchers today are studying the effects of this ancient practice and finding evidence that meditation lowers stress, improves physical and emotional health, increases focus, and even increases feelings of love. 

How long does your mind typically stay with one thought before it moves on to something new? Having a one-pointed mind is one of the subtle skills you develop as you learn to meditate. 

The Yoga Sutras compiled by Patanjali around 400 CE say that a one-pointed mind resolves life's physical, emotional and mental suffering. 



"A Safe Place" by Jennifer Rose


There are physical and breathing exercises that bring about inner states of relaxation and alertness. These states are conducive to cultivating focus. The mastery of these states has been systematized and articulated so that anyone can learn to make their mind one-pointed.

Even before you are properly meditating, realizations come from these practices that empower you. For example, you may notice that deep, diaphragmatic breathing can make you feel calmer. 

Meditation, as I teach and practice it, is secular and can be practiced by people from all walks of life. 

2-Minute Meditation Cards present the practices of ancient India as taught by Swami Rama, and introduce some of the current research to inspire you and give you confidence. 

Each of the 9 cards has a beautiful, soothing image on the front. On the back, the cards guide you in developing skills that will establish a meditation practice that you can rely on for the rest of your life. Step by step and one by one the cards guide you to work with your body, your breath, and then your mind to obtain a state of relaxation, ease, and mental focus. 

If you have been considering starting a meditation practice, but somehow haven't gotten started, these cards provide tangible support. If you have a meditation practice that has lapsed, these cards can be reminders and companions that bring you back to your practice. 

If you need more support, schedule a consultation. I have been teaching meditation and yoga for 15 years. 646-831-2675

If you wish to schedule 4 sessions during December--whether you are a beginner, or need support to reach your next goal, I will send you the cards as a thank you gift.

Learn to meditate. Be supported.
