"Imagination is not make believe, it is the journey of an unfettered mind"
Carl A Hammerschlag
By quietening what the ancients used to term "monkey mind" we are able to tap into limitless reserves of peace, joy and creativity.
In our usual work and home lives, our minds and nervous systems are constanty bombarded with all sorts of information and stimulation.
Our minds can become over-active, noisy and constantly chattering. This affects us in every walk of life, from how we treat and respect ourselves, to our relationships, reducing our creativity and productivity at work, not to mention our feelings of wellbeing or happiness.
Meditation offers a powerful and effective tool to quieten the chatter of the mind, to restore balance and wellbeing, to improve focus and concentration. You may also discover additional benefits of happiness, positivity, new ideas and concepts, more loving relationships, deeper more effective breathing, more 'presence'.
