In general, meditation practice has been shown to be helpful with improving concentration, attention, creativity and decreasing anxiety and depression. There is a great deal of evidence to support that many physiological improvements occur with repeated practice even when one practices for a short time periods daily, e.g., 10-15 minutes per day.
During a session, clients learn how to use meditation skillfully to induce relaxation, enhance mindfulness and expand awareness. Clients often report improved mood, alertness and a deeper peaceful state of mind and sleep.
