Welcome

Meditation Nation was born out of an intense heart’s desire to provide some relief to our beautiful nation and to inspire a brief break from the hustle and bustle of life.

A few moments of silence and relocation to an eternal world of silence, peace and gratitude for every little thing that often goes on without attention. Just a few moments of recalibration.

A healthy state of mind empowers us to approach life with more calm, patience, deeper insight, understanding and wisdom and even to be happy in difficult circumstances.

Deep calm breathing is physiologically the healthiest, easiest thing to do. Every cell in your body gets more oxygen and functions better and it immediately and specifically improves your brain function.

Your brain secretes hormones with every emotion you experience. Every WhatsApp and Facebook video, every newspaper report or TV experience, conversation and thought evokes a ‘feeling’. Constant negative thoughts and feelings of helpless overwhelm cause a stream of “Fight or Flight” hormones such as adrenaline which can lead to enormous discomfort, blood pressure problems, sick cells, poor food digestion, depression and anxiety.

The feeling of gratitude, for example, secretes hormones in your brain that lead to a positive mind set where clear thinking, happiness, health, cheerfulness, creativity, well-being and a healthy state of mind can grow and flourish.

Brain function and Hormones are intense and wondrously complex but we can manage our emotions with a focus on breathing and thought shifting.

In an oversimplified nutshell; Hormones that can make you healthy and make you feel good: Dopamine, Ocytocine, Serotonin and Endorphins.
Hormones that can make you sick and make you feel bad in persistent overdoses: Adrenaline and Cortisol.

Daily reminders of our inherent ability to move ourselves to a peaceful head space where world events, which are in any case beyond our control and often make us feel powerless, is seen from a different perspective. 

It gives our brain, heart and whole body a chance to focus its energy on our own health, on a cellular and soul level.

Hold the feeling of Gratitude for a few minutes and it lifts your thoughts and feelings to everything that will seem important on your deathbed. No politician or virus or situation will earn a second of your attention in these most important moments on earth. You will automatically focus on all the Love, Grace, Caring and all the Good things, people and experiences in your life.

I invite everyone to follow Meditation Nation on YouTube where I present a few minutes of guided walks each week. Let’s be the captain of our own thought ships.
