Einstein discovered light, our goals are just as lofty: peaceful existence

The Big and Small Benefits of Meditation 🧘‍♀️🧠

Meditation isn’t just a spiritual practice—it’s a powerful tool for mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, the benefits show up in both subtle and significant ways. When we pause together at the end of class taking our savasana we are just ‘being’ , not usually meditating, but yoga practice is an excellent gateway to meditation and all it’s benefits.

🌱 Small (but mighty) benefits:

  • A calmer mind in the middle of chaos

  • A pause before reacting in anger or stress

  • Improved sleep quality

  • A slight shift in perspective that changes your whole day

  • A deeper breath when you need it most

🌄 Big, life-changing benefits:

  • Reduced anxiety and depression over time

  • Increased focus and productivity

  • Stronger emotional resilience

  • Greater self-awareness and compassion

  • A sense of purpose and inner peace

Albert Einstein once said,

“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.”

He also said “I did not discover light, I meditated on it until it revealed itself to me.”

That’s the essence of meditation—creating space for clarity, insight, and peace and understanding to emerge, not by force, but by stillness.

If you’ve been thinking about trying it, start small. Even 2 minutes a day can open a door.
