How can this be? Well, the majority of Americans experience high amounts of stress and continue to seek treatment for the side effects of stress - high blood pressure, headaches, fatigue, ulcers, and anxiety, to name just a few. Even the Mayo clinic has reported the benefits of meditation finding significant and measurable stress-reduction properties. And now, CNN just published results of a new study claiming meditation is a "therapeutic powerhouse, with far-reaching influence on both psychological and physical health."
The latest study highlights:
*Meditation actually relieves loneliness and the feeling of being disconnected.
*Meditation reduces inflammation, which plays a key role in major illnesses. It can help serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer's and irritable bowel syndrome.
The study was led by J. David Creswell, assistant professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. For best results he suggests taking part in a formal meditation program lead by a meditation instructor to provide structure and build your skill set.
At True Sanctuary, we offer meditation classes based on ancient meditation arts handed down in a direct lineage from teacher to student. Our instructors have gone through hundreds of hours of training before becoming certified. They teach classes to a variety of students - from children as young as five years old, professionals seeking stress release, adults interested in quieting the mind and increasing creativity levels, to elderly seeking improved quality of physical health and peace of mind.
Our classes receive positive testimonials from students: Journeys of the Spirit class; Sanctuary Meditation; Max Meditation and the Empower Thyself Workshop.Check our calendar of events to sign up for a class, or contact us for a private lesson! We're currently offering classes in Minneapolis, Denver and Fargo.
