Meditation in Brighton

Ever wanted to learn how to meditate? If you live within the Brighton area, I can help you to learn meditation principles. Whilst my students are most commonly local, I regularly receive students from across the UK.

What is meditation?

Meditation is an easy and simple way to balance your physical, emotional, and mental states. It is easily learned and has been used as an aid in treating stress, anxiety, pain management, and as part of an overall treatment for other conditions including hypertension and heart disease. Research shows that meditation decreases the heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen consumption, and even decreases blood pressure.

According to Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., a pioneer in the field of mindbody medicine, meditation can be broadly defined as any activity that keeps the attention pleasantly anchored in the present moment. When the mind is calm and focused in the present, it is neither reacting to memories from the past nor being preoccupied with plans for the future, two major sources of chronic stress known to impact health.

What can meditation help with?

Improvement of body luster and general health. When your mind focuses on a particular part of the body, the blood flow to that part increases and cells receive more oxygen and other nutrients in abundance. Today, many celebrities include meditation in their daily regime.
Improvement in concentration. Many athletes and sports professionals regularly employ meditation methods. Studies have found a direct correlation between concentration exercises (meditation) and the performance level of sports professionals. Meditation strengthens the mind; it comes under control and is able to provide effective guidance to the physical body to effectively execute all its projects.
Increases blood flow and slows the heart rate.
Increases exercise tolerance in heart patients.
Leads to a deeper level of relaxation.
Good for people with high blood pressure as it brings the BP to normal.
Reduces anxiety attacks by lowering the levels of blood lactate.
Decreases muscle tension (any pain due to tension) and headaches.
Builds self-confidence.
It increases serotonin production which influences mood and behaviour. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, obesity, insomnia and headaches.
Helps in chronic diseases like allergies, arthritis etc.
Reduces PMS.
Helps in post-operative healing.
Enhances the immune system. Research has revealed that meditation increases activity of 'natural-killer cells', which kill bacteria and cancer cells.
Also reduces activity of viruses and emotional distress.

Can anyone learn to meditate?

Most people can learn meditate. When you’re sitting outside and just gazing up at the clouds, you’re doing a form of meditation. When you just stare into space, you’re doing a form of meditation.

There is no need to sit in awkward positions of 30 minutes at a time. I can teach you a variety of easy meditation techniques you can do anywhere, standing or sitting in a chair, for just ten minutes.
