So why get started with meditation?

Well, you've probably heard the hype and the number of high profile sports people, business people and public figures talk about the positive impact that mindfulness meditation has had on their life. I am a low profile version of these people! Mindfulness meditation has transformed my life and is a staple part of my day.

Some of the widely cited benefits of meditation are that:

It helps to reduce stress, and anxiety and helps us to switch back into a more calm state.

It helps us manage our thoughts and reduces the overwhelm these can cause, particularly during times of uncertainty and high pressure.

It helps us build compassion for ourselves and others.

It helps us to strengthen the executive functioning part of our brain that leads us to be less impulsive and more measured in our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

It helps us to better manage difficult emotions without suppressing them or turning to unhelpful external pleasures or addictions to distract ourselves.
