There is plenty of scientific research on the benefits of practicing meditation regularly. When you intentionally slow down your breathing, your mind and body also slow down. This allows your parasympathetic nervous system to switch on (relaxation response) and your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response) to turn off, resulting in a reduction of cortisol (stress hormone).
Practicing meditation allows you to reconnect with your inner-being – your emotions, thoughts, needs and goals. At Solace Psychology & Wellness, you will have a welcoming, comfortable space to slow down and focus within. While practicing meditation can be really difficult on your own, short guided meditation is easier to follow along and tune in. You will follow the sound of your instructor’ voice as they guide you to discover your inner strengths, abilities and wisdom.
