Meditation For Cognitive Well-being
ONLINE: Tues, Aug 1st, 7 pm – 8 pm ET.
In a world consumed by constant doing and future-oriented thinking, it is essential to reclaim the present moment and prioritize our well-being. Join me for a meditation class where we delve into the profound benefits of meditation, offering a respite from the demands of modern life.
The ability to think about what is not happening in this present moment is a cognitive achievement that comes at a high emotional cost. It sets a chain of physiological reactions in the body - the heart-rate goes up, breathing becomes shallow and the sympathetic nervous system (fight-flight-freeze reaction) takes over. This class aims to disrupt this cycle of chronic stress and its detrimental impact on our physical and mental health.
Yoga and meditation have been successfully employed to improve memory in studies with people with cognitive decline, and highly stressed caregivers, all of whom are at increased risk for development of Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Scientific research has unveiled a multitude of benefits associated with meditation. From improved sleep and reduced depression and anxiety, to enhanced immune function and cognitive well-being, the transformative effects of meditation are far-reaching. Through the practice of meditation, we can activate positive genetic expression, regulate stress hormones, and even slow down the aging process.
Whether you're new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, this online class is suitable for all levels. No prior experience is necessary. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to explore the power of meditation.
Once you register, you will be sent a Zoom link the day of class. Please make sure to check your spam folder.
