How to become more compassionate - Meditation

Hi Yoga fans

Compassion is a much valued human quality. Have a read below and see for yourself how being compassionate can benefit health. Beneath this post click on the link to our Timetables. You will find classes that you can attend, all of which will help you become a more caring and compassionate person through yoga meditation. Meditation classes are FREE ..!

Scientific research into the measurable benefits of compassion is young. Preliminary findings suggest, however, that being compassionate can improve health, well-being, and relationships. 

Compassion makes us feel good: Compassionate action (e.g., giving to charity) activates pleasure circuts in the brain. Producing feelings of happiness.

Being compassionate—tuning in to other people in a kind and loving manner—can reduce risk of heart disease by boosting the positive effects of the Vagus Nerve, which helps to slow our heart rate.

Brain scans during meditation, which directs compassion toward suffering, suggest that, on average, compassionate people’s minds wander less about what has gone wrong in their lives, or might go wrong in the future; as a result, they’re happier.

Compassion helps make caring parents: Brain scans show that when people experience compassion, their brains activate in neural systems known to support parental nurturance and other caregiving behaviors.

Compassion helps make better spouses: Compassionate people are more optimistic and supportive when communicating with others.

Compassion helps make better friends. Feeling compassion for one person makes us less vindictive toward others.

Restraining feelings of compassion chips away at our commitment to moral principles.

Employees who receive more compassion in their workplace see themselves, their co-workers, and their organization in a more positive light, report feeling more positive and are more committed to their jobs.

More compassionate societies—those that take care of their most vulnerable members, assist other nations in need, and have children who perform more acts of kindness—are the happier ones.

Compassionate people are more socially adept, making them less vulnerable to loneliness; loneliness has been shown to cause stress and harm the immune system.

Serenity Meditation - Beginners classes

Hi All

This is a post from ympbgc.blogspot.com.au

I thought I would share this with you today.. wouldn't it be awesome if there were more peace and serenity in this world :)

Through out the centuries, the fountain of youth has been the 'Quest' for many, so too self realisation, wisdom, peace, truth, serenity.

In this particular AGE the practice of Mantra Yoga meditation is far more effective than other spiritual paths, like meditation on the white light or Brahman effulgence OR trying to control the life air and raise the kundalini to the top of the head as in raja yoga. Very few can perfect this process. Therefore the most effective means of focusing our attention is to concentrate on the sound vibration of a mantra.

Although a vast science, the practice for peace, serenity, true inner happiness lies in a beautifully simple process. If you would like to investigate further check out our Timetables and come along to class. All teachers are certified and hold diplomas in Yoga Meditation classes, so you will be in very capable caring hands.

Here are those links. Have a lovely relaxing day, come see us soon.

Namaste

Good Morning Yoga fans #YogaPalmBeach

Hi Yoga fans

We hope you are having an awesome day.

"Never look down on anybody, unless you are helping them up".

Unfortunately, these days it seems that bullying, both verbal and physical are on the rise.

It's almost as though a person is seen to be 'cool' if they are cruel and unkind to others.

This is one reason why it is helpful on all levels to introduce people to the ancient art of Yoga meditation. Why? Because studies have shown that this very agreeable, very sweet and simple practice cleanses a persons heart, mind and intelligence so that he or she can then come to understand with purified vision that all sentient beings are of the same spiritual nature as oneself, this automatically brings about the condition of tolerance and compassion and the desire to relate to others kindly. Not just showing kindness to human others - BUT demonstrating compassion to all living creatures.

This is the sweet fruit of this timeless practice. The regular hearing and singing of transcendental mantras, brings a deep understanding of how a person may live in the world in a non-violent way with a willingness to share and bring true peace to all.

Yoga Nidra Bliss #whatsongoldcoast4221

Yoga Nidra

Just as a car engine needs to be turned off and allowed to cool down after a long drive, similarly, after doing yoga postures, we need to cool our body with yoga nidra. It helps conserve and consolidate the energy from the yoga poses. Yoga nidra relaxes the entire system, preparing it for pranayama and deeper meditation. Stress is the number one cause of injury and illness, it is important to explore methods to keep balanced and joyful in the chaos of everyday life. 

Guided Relaxation removes tension and fatigue in the physical body, relieves depression and anxiety, relieves headaches, reduces cravings and desires, rejuvenates and energizes the entire system, bolsters the body's natural healing capacities, and normalizes the circulatory system's functioning.

During class you will be guided into a state of deep relaxation where your breathing and thoughts are slowed almost to the point of stopping, which can be as restorative as a full night's sleep. When done regularly and with intention, one can more easily cross over into Psychic Sleep.

It is through this deep practice that you can gradually come to recognize that you are so much more than the body or the mind. The benefits of this class are cumulative - the more you do it, the greater the benefit. 

If you would like to try this wonderful art of relaxation and rejuvenation, check out our yoga meditation timetable.

Reach Out - Take the time to care #yogapalmbeach

We all have a Mary in our life:

Mary is loved and thought of by everyone ... Just today her daughter thought about taking her to the doctor, her old friend thought about taking her shopping, her granddaughter 'almost' stopped by for a visit, and her neighbor 'almost' took her dinner.

Mary 'almost' got that much needed Doctors visit ... She 'almost' got some much needed groceries, she 'almost' had the first visitor in months and she 'almost' had a hot meal.

Mary 'almost' knew how much everyone loved and thought about her before she passed away ... alone.

Make sure you don't 'almost' do things ... because it may be too ... late'

Make that call, go visit, don't live with regret. Reach out and make someones day.

Kindness Matters #whatsongoldcoast4221

Kindness
Manifests in many ways. As you may know we do a lot of work on the spiritual level by sharing the transcendental practice of sacred sound meditation with all those who are seeking a deeper purpose in life.  This includes working on all levels for the ultimate good of all sentient beings. There are many ways a person can express kindness in their daily lives and we have listed a few ideas below.

Five Ways to be Kind

Here are five ways to demonstrate your kindness and to contribute to building a more caring, compassionate community:

1.     Give

*Share your good fortune by donating to a charity, but remember that many charities need more than money. 

*Donate blood.

*Donate your clothing, house-wares or furniture.

*Bring your gently used toys to shelters for abused women and their children. 

*Or bring the toiletries you collect from hotel stays to local shelters for the poor or homeless.

2.     Volunteer

Volunteer your time, energy and talents to help a worthy cause. The practice of Karma yoga is an ancient practice and is part of the timeless Yoga system. 

3.     Say thanks

Take the time to say thanks to the people who help you every day – from the bus drivers who take you to and from work, to the shop assistants and restaurant staff who serve you, to the police officers and security guards who strive to keep you safe and free from harm. And the next time someone opens the door for you, helps you carry your bags, or does anything extra special for you, express your appreciation.

4.     Celebrate kindness

There are countless people in our community who are kind everyday:  Nurses, doctors, hospital workers, home health providers and the relatives and neighbours who care for others at home or close to home.  Acknowledge their kindness.  Tell them you value their generosity and caring.  They deserve the recognition.

5.     Pay it Forward

The next time someone is kind to you, make a conscious effort to pay that kindness forward by being kind to another person.  That way, you multiply the impact of kindness.  You feel good, you help another person feel good and you make a positive difference in the daily life of your community.

Yoga Meditation Positivity @yogameditationstudiopalmbeach

Hi All

Just a couple of thoughts on why the timeless practice of Yoga meditation is so good for us, for our heart, our mind, family, friends and all living beings.

An analogy we could use is that of a beautiful, soft, delicate, flower. Lets say for example that we, you and I are like a "flower" the yoga meditations would be likened to gentle rain that nourishes us / the "flower", bringing life, sustenance and causing the flower to grow and flourish.

Due to the fact that yoga meditations are pure spiritual sound vibrations and we are also spiritual in essence - we flourish and blossom when we place ourselves in a nurturing spiritual environment, in other words when we come into contact with the Supreme friend via spiritual sound vibration.

Other awesome side effects of this very powerful and soothing meditation is that a person becomes focused, grounded, has a more positive outlook on life and feels happier within. This is just the tip of the iceberg as this is a very in-depth topic.

If you would like to know more or would like to experience sacred sound meditation for yourself, check out our yoga meditation timetable. We welcome you anytime :)
