Meditation is achieved when your brain waves reach the Theta state (4-6 cycles/second). Your brain has slowed down to this powerful deep consciousness and relaxed threshold state between awake and asleep.

No special equipment or skill level is needed and everybody can do the simplest form of meditation (visualization) no matter your age or physical capabilities. All that is needed is a place and time with NO distractions.

I teach regular meditation classes which help to reduce stress levels aiding you to live a more balanced life. Meditation, I have found, can be your safe haven away from everyone and everything where you can discover your authentic (genuine) self and shed all notions/expectations of who or what you should or shouldn't be or do. IT IS LIBERATING!
