Description

Meditation Demystified

An Evidence Based Spotlight on the supposedly Esoteric practice of Meditation


A peek into the Research, the How & the Why of Meditation.


We will pull the curtain back on the available Science and take an in-depth look at exactly WHY meditation is so critical to our day-to-day life today.

This talk was put together after the America Meditates conference in Denver, CO. The conference was a confluence of all service providers & researchers willing to contribute to and discuss solutions for the Mental Health issues that the American society is facing today. The attendees included Medical Personnel, Yoga Instructors, Meditation Experts, Researchers and a wide array of alternate therapy providers.

The consensus of the conference was that Meditation could be the key to solving the crisis that the American Society (and the world in general) is facing to tackle Mental Well-Being.

Except, the concept of Meditation is considered esoteric in the west. And a systematic demystification is needed for people to understand that Meditation is well studied in the scientific literature.

This course summarizes the available key research on Meditation and its benefits. The student is walked gently through the various steps and offered motivation to learn this important Self Help skill of Meditation.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for those looking for a Scientific Basis for Meditation.
