Meditation helps us on many levels, from simple relaxation to freedom from suffering and full liberation of heart and mind. It allows us to:
- defuse stress and experience greater calm
- explore the mind-body relationship
- connect to our feelings
- expand our sense of who we are, beyond our fears and self-judgment
- find genuine happiness
- discover inner resources that can change our everyday lives
- awaken our capacity for insight and wisdom
- transform our worldview from one of isolation and confusion to one of connection, clarity and compassion
- broaden our perspective and deepen our courage, based on seeing things just as they are
