Your Meditation practice takes you deeper into your understanding and practice of one of the most rewarding disciplines you can choose to be involved in. The benefits to our mind and body, the healing and growth, the nourishment of the self is so beautiful and wonderful for you.

The most common components of mindfulness meditation are - a meditation practice, breathing and spiritual development, all combining to make up what we call 'mindfulness'.

The perfect place to start or further develop this activity for yourself is on one of the many meditation retreats that give you the opportunity to spend some 'time out' on this practice alone.

Wherever you are you can develop this technique, either on your own or with a group of people to support you in this journey on a meditation retreat.

The benefits of meditation are huge and you can take this one practice anywhere you go.

Once you learn and develop the skills and meditative techniques it is always available to you, wherever you are, because it's inside of you. The practice supports you and provides self-care and self-love.

There is a positive healing feedback loop for yourself. Meditative yoga is good for your concentration too.

Meditation promotes synchronicity and calmness, reduces anxiety and overcomes personal emotional blocks. It is so therapeutic for your mind, body and soul.

It is one of the most important behaviours to adopt for emotional healing.

Mindfulness meditation is such a potentially powerful tool for us all.

I pray and wish everybody could have the time to learn this, either at home or on a retreat.

Many other mindfulness practices are promoted and complemented by the activities on a meditation retreat that are great for us to adopt, such as yoga, healthy eating, good behaviour practices, and healthy patterns and regimens in our daily lives.

All of these contribute to your overall wellness.

With these lifestyle changes come clarity of the thinking mind, healing of emotional trauma and resolution of mental 'blocks', even improved bodily functions like lower blood pressure and harmony with our bodies, plus the deep breathing practice keeps us calm and in the present moment. The effect on our health and wellness is hard to overstate.

The most simple technique of meditation is easy and accessible to all of us - it is the mastering of deep breathing - in the exhalation we exhale our anxiety and stress, we practice quieting the thinking mind with exhaling.

This is known as pranayama, the breathing meditation in yoga. We breathe in peace, love, clam and acceptance.

If you have been practicing meditation for a while and would like to deepen your understanding and knowledge further, or you wish to add yoga as a physical exercise to your spiritual meditative practice, a complete wellness wellness retreat is probably the most intensive and productive way to do this.

A meditation vacation offers you the mental and physical space to focus solely on your meditation practice.

It offers you the opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge of new techniques, to develop you ability to meditate deeper and for longer, and to discover more about this wonderful discipline and yourself.

Time spent at a retreat center is a holiday too so the rewarding relaxation benefits to you of spending time in this way are astounding. Leave in a serene state with more tools and skills for you to use in your meditation sessions and classes in the future. Your mind and body will be grateful, a spiritual awakening can arise from such time spent purely on mindfulness practices.

You can find meditation retreat programs that focus only on meditation and do not include yoga or yoga therapy. So if you do not practice yoga yet or for your personal reasons you are not ready or able to start then you can still find a meditation retreat that suits your needs. Many meditation centers introduce you to different meditation techniques, such as guided meditation, breathing meditation, mindfulness meditation and silent meditation retreats.

Meditation offers us the opportunity to think and act differently, to embrace change and personal growth. And to enjoy physical benefits such as decreased anxiety.

There are many living examples of these changes - of people being able to stop repetitive thoughts and behaviours; people reducing their blood pressure through daily regimens; stress levels reduced from regular meditation.

The list is endless. It is a simple cause-effect.People who practice meditation have a better day.

It's that simple.

And it's not hard to do, accessible to all and will be with you forever inside.

There is only one catch to all of this, and it isn't a big one luckily. To reap the rewards of meditation, with or without the daily practice of yoga, you will need to try to create a regular practice, a daily practice which will give you the opportunity to learn and develop meditation techniques to your benefit.

If you do wish to combine them into your daily routine then Kriya yoga is an interesting opportunity for this as meditation is a part of this practice.

You will find that it is very productive to add physical exercise into your life, you can get this from yoga but if you do not practice then it's a good idea to look for an alternative fitness training regime to combine with your meditation regimen.

Diet should not be forgotten here either. If you make the effort to consume healthy food then the mind is clearer and more susceptible to the mindfulness practices you enjoy.

If you can have a plant-based diet then all the better. And a good sleep always helps, aiding the process of meditation and helping to maintain the changes we experience from it.

Here's a quick breakdown of what we have identified as the practices that

all combine to create a happier self with mindfulness in our daily lives -

1.Meditation

2.Yoga

3. Exercise

4.Healthy diet

There is not.

If you have never practiced meditation and feel it is not available to you or going to be easy for you then please do not worry.

We can help. First step to start is to devote some time to meditate. You can join a meditation retreat without any experience at all.

A good place to start would be a guided meditation retreat which provides support and learning for you.
