Meditation for Optimal Performance Wednesdays in October, from 7-8:15 pm; Sherwood Room You are invited to a meditation class where you will learn and practice relaxation, breathing, visualization and concentration techniques. Relaxation and breathing exercises increase your level of energy and vitality by allowing your body to restore and rejuvenate itself. It has been medically proven that fifteen minutes of relaxation a day increases the hemoglobin (oxygen) count in the blood, as well as increasing our resistance to disease. You will also learn how to reduce critical self-talk, and change bad brain habits into positive ones. Whatever your activities – golf, tennis, singing, entertaining, writing, public speaking, teaching – the visualization exercises you learn will help you perform the way you have always wanted to. By developing the ability to calm your body, mind and emotions, you will also reach deeper states of intuition, insight, creativity and spiritual awareness. Integrating and practicing these techniques regularly will bring you to a consistent state of well-being that will expand your life in meaningful and optimal ways. The experience and knowledge you gain will be at your command to use whenever you wish.
