WHAT IS MEDITATION
Meditation is a mental practice designed to affect the mind and body into more expanded states of awareness. These expanded states of awareness bring greater connection to the present moment, increase the capability of your mind and replenish your resources through rest.
You could also think of meditation as brain training. It’s a mental process that induces and stabilises the ‘relaxation response’ in our nervous systems which is what triggers rest and recovery. It enables us to recover from fatigue, release stress, process emotions and positively impact our brain, immune system, and our overall well being.
Awareness, also referred to as consciousness, is involved in absolutely everything we do, every single moment, and the degree to which we are aware is the degree to which we are able to thrive.
the effortless practice
Carly primarily offers the 1 Giant Mind Being Meditation technique. This is an effortless, yet very powerful, technique that is practiced for 20 minutes twice daily.
In this practice there is no need to try and stop yourself from thinking, no need to try and make yourself more relaxed, and no need to concentrate on or control anything. This technique of effortlessness enables you to transcend the mind, breaking your habitual thinking patterns and accessing a deeper, more expansive state of awareness.
Along with rapidly expanding self-awareness this practice can provide the following benefits:
Reduced stress and anxiety
Experience of greater happiness and fulfillment
Increased energy and vitality
Greater focus and clarity
Enhanced creativity
Being more present and connected in daily life
