At its most simple, Meditation can be just sitting in the park, with your eyes shut, listening to the birds in the trees; the rustle of the leaves in the trees and the sounds of life going by…… at its most advanced, it can lead to a Transcendental State, where you go into a “non-mind” state, where you are fully aware, yet your mind is empty: paving the way for enlightenment and transformation!   To get from the first example to the last is certainly a journey, and not all people can achieve this.

A  report on 12 Science-Based Benefits of Meditation  written by Dr Matthew Thorpe, MD, PhD, in 2017, concluded that Meditation can

• Reduce Stress
• Control Anxiety
• Promote Emotional Health
• Enhance Self-Awareness
• Lengthen Attention Span
• May reduce age-related memory loss
• Can Generate Kindness
• May Help Fight Addictions
• Improves Sleep
• Helps Control Pain
• Reduces Blood Pressure
• You Can Meditate ANYWHERE!

One of the techniques we use in our Sound Therapy sessions,  is  a specific group-based meditation, which is designed to bring the whole body into balance.  During a 20-minute presentation at a Business Networking Meeting of 26 business owners,  in 2017, Emily used this technique, to great effect:   Without exception, everyone at the end was de-stressed;  “chilled-out” and  calm.  After the one-to-one meetings, which followed, the majority of those present came up to Emily and thanked her:.  There were many who were sceptical at the beginning: not by the end!  Rather than being "woo-woo", these types of techniques REALLY work!

This is why we always begin with this component. 

Obi C Agor, always starts his Qigong Group Sessions with a Standing Tree Meditation, in the Qigong Tradition, in order to centre everyone present and clear the mind so that the resulting exercises are even more effective; our physical bodies always work best when the mind is calm.

Thus, meditation forms a key part of both our Workplace Wellness Programmes as well as bespoke series of weekly/bi-weekly or monthly Workplace Workout Workshops.

There is so much pressure on everyone nowadays, both at work and in our personal lives. In a report on WebMD, entitled Meditation Heals Body and Mind, explains how meditation can actually reduce blood pressure as well as increase our immune systems and lead to a slowing of the ageing process.

One of the services we can offer is a twenty-minute daily meditation for staff, via a video link, centring on exactly what is needed for them that day. It can be carried out at a set time, perhaps first thing in the morning, in order to improve productivity and energy in staff members.

We offer this as a stand-alone service or as part of the Workplace Wellness Programmes – tailor-made for you and your staff and the Workplace Workout Workshops.
