Experience Westfield Yoga's MEDITATION PROGRAM - feel the difference in your life with Meditation and Deep Breathing
Meditation Classes to Restore your Peace:
With all the stimulus coming at us from every direction, have you ever wondered what it would be like to think about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!  We are so distracted from our true selves, in endless activity, in our intense and anxious struggle, competing, grasping, possessing and achieving, feeling scattered and alone.  Meditation can help bring your mind back HOME, back to your SELF, where we can really experience and tastte our full being, beyond all habitual patterns.
Meditation Classes to Relieve Anxiety and Pain:
Do you suffer from high blood pressure, headaches, insomnia, panic attacks, muscle spasms, depression, ulcers, cardiac neuroses, general or situational anxiety, or chronic pain in the jaws, neck or back?  If so, it's time to ask your doctor about the benefits of MEDITATION AND DEEP BREATHING.

Here's how it works:  The deep breathing and total relaxation stimulates the "meditative response" (as opposed to the "flight-or-fight" response) that lowers your blood pressure, heart rate, rate of respiration, thereby allowing the body to release endorphins which further enhance relaxation.  Breathing techniques and visualizations also help to take your mind away from the pain or cause of anxiety by focusing inward, making the body feel safe and comfortable.  As you still your mind, the body begins to let go and healing can take place.  In addition, the quiet atmosphere (away from all of our daily stresses), the aromatherapy (candles and incense), and the relaxing or inspiring music, will begin to act as cues of relaxation, allowing you to become more aware of the causes of stress (and pain) and learn to avoid and control them.
