Meditation Zen den

With so many demands on our time and minds, it takes a conscious effort to take a moment and allow ourselves the time we need to explore who we truly are. Meditation can be defined as a set of techniques that are intended to encourage a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. Meditation is also a consciousness-changing technique that has been shown to have a wide number of benefits on psychological well-being. 

Guided meditation is a process by which one or more participants meditate in response to the guidance provided by a trained practitioner or teacher, either in person or via a written text, sound recording, video, or audiovisual media comprising music or verbal instruction, or a combination of both. We offer sound-recorded meditations in the zen den. Guided meditations are a great way to work on our mental health & wellness.
