CORAL GABLES, Fla. (April 6, 2016) – Time and again, meditation has proven to have remarkable results for many individuals. Improve your physical and emotional responses to stress while increasing your health and happiness at the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center’s free meditation class, open to members and non-members on Monday, April 18.
Meditation is known to stimulate relaxation, which in turn might reduce blood pressure. Conditions caused or worsened by stress can also be alleviated through meditation, decreasing metabolism, lowering blood pressure, and improving the heart rate, breathing and brain waves.
Studies show that meditation may enhance the brain’s ability to process information. Not only can your memory expand, but your empathy and sense of self may improve as well. Meditation also assists in fostering compassion, happiness, and focus.
“No matter who you are, meditation can increase your attention span, improve the functionality of your brain and relieve stress, among many other physical and mental benefits,” said Ashley Falcon, assistant director of wellness at the Herbert Wellness Center. “Meditation can also help to build your leadership skills and boost your emotional intelligence.”
The meditation class, which is free and open to the public, begins at 7:40 p.m. in the Herbert Wellness Center. Comfortable clothing is recommended. This class is brought to you by the Department of Wellness and Recreation and Sri Chinmoy Centres International.
