Mindfulness Meditation Can Benefit Fibromyalgia Patients

Meditation is the one of the most comprehensively stress relieving and life transforming practices available today, and perhaps from the beginning of recorded time. So, if meditation is so great – why aren’t we all doing it? At Lee’s Summit Holistic Wellness, we believe it’s because most people do not really know how  to meditate. It looks pretty easy but every time we try, we lose interest and give up.

We are delighted to offer private meditation classes, introducing clients to a variety of meditation styles. In this 50 minute class we will discuss meditation purpose and benefits. We will also introduce some general meditation philosophies, as well as learn and practice several different meditation methods and techniques. It is recommended that you plan to attend at least 2 classes (per your chosen schedule), to allow for enough exposure in meditation practices to be able to select one that suits your lifestyle and personality.

Meditation can be a method to transcend into a highly spiritual mindset or it can be used for general stress relief and increased focus. Meditations versatility and flexibility to incorporate into anyone’s lifestyle make meditation one of the most powerful tools for relieving stress, anxiety, improving focus and general well-being. And to top it off – it’s free, available anytime, anyplace, for any length of time you can dedicate to it.
