MEDITATION
Meditation: a practice where an individual uses a technique – such as focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – to train attention and awareness. Even though there are many forms of meditation, the ultimate goal is a feeling of relaxation and inner peace.
At BellaVita, we realize how important mental health is, which is why we emphasize the importance of meditation. Everything stems for the mind- gain control of your mind, gain control of your life!
Regular practice of meditation can lead to the following benefits:
- Decreased stress, anxiety, and blood pressure
- Improved quality and duration of sleep
- Increased levels of relaxation, focus, and productivity
- Peace of mind and healthy well-being
Meditation Practice Options:
Yoga Nidra-Yogic Sleep
Yoga Nidra is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping. Studies show that 30 minutes of this practice is equivalent to 4 hours of sleep. This practice goes beyond deep relaxation as it awakens an inner state of peacefulness and calm that helps manage stress.
Mindfulness
Purposely bring attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgement. This practice slows down your thoughts, allows you to release negativity, and calms your mind and body by fully focusing on "the now." Being present can lead to less anxiety, depression, and clearer thoughts. Slow down and let go of negativity.
Breathwork
Feel balanced and centered by concentrating on your breath. This practice is a form of active meditation that utilizes breathing techniques. By consciously exercising breathing techniques, you will allow for increased levels of inner peace, well-being, and enhanced health. Enter a state of calm by releasing tension and pain by focusing on your inhales and exhales.
Visualization
Guided imagery helps evoke and generate mental images that integrate sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and movements. This intention-based practice involves imagining a pleasant experience or outcome by experiencing feelings of gratitude and connection. Visualization can also help with reaching goals by seeing the outcome of an event in your head before it happens in real life. If you are dealing with a particular challenge or experience, visualization can help you let go and heal from trauma to transform your life.
Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM)
This practice helps you give and receive love by focusing your energy toward yourself and others. Boost your well-being, increase capacity for forgiveness, feel connections towards others, and exercise self-acceptance. LKM can help with chronic pain, social anxiety, marital conflict, and anger. It can also help process emotional pain and empathy by providing a sense of peace.
Manifestation
The law of attraction states that ‘like attracts like’ so eliminate negative thoughts and bring in positive ones. The practice of manifestation will focus your thoughts on materializing the life you want. This practice will help you attain goals and desires using imagery and positive affirmations. Let your mind guide you to your goals by projecting positive thoughts on what you want most to align with your “higher self.”
Theme based
Focus on a theme or topic of interest that aligns with goals for yourself and your environment. Concentrate on what is important to you. Themes can range from self care and love, to calm and peaceful energy, and world events/causes. Our theme based meditations provide structure, which allows you to focus solely on a specific subject.
