​Meditation - in a nutshell

When the mind enters a state of deep relaxation and stillness, beyond the thoughts and emotions, whether happy or sad, desirable or challenging, when there is perfect equilibrium and a sense of inner peace, we have moved into meditation. The practice of mindfulness & meditation promotes a deeply holistic and unified approach towards life - a yogic and mindful attitude - which unfolds in us a complete and integral understanding of the interconnection between body, mind and spirit.
