 hieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm stable state.  Wikipedia\n\n
 What is a meditative state- a state of deep relaxation and heightened awa
 reness that can be achieved through practice. It’s about not getting cau
 ght up in thoughts than their absence and can lead to a sense of inner cal
 m.  Other experiences that may occur during a meditative state include sl
 owed heart rate\, increased focus feelings of interconnection loss of trac
 k of time and Joy. It is when the body and mind are in a deep state of re
 laxation.\n\nSome things we will discuss\n-The biology of meditation\n-How
  Meditation affects the CNS and why that is so important\n-Brain states\n-

 uggested a daily practice where you have a space to meditate\, pray and al
 low for insights and knowing to become clear. It helps to have something o
 f beauty around to support inspiration\; nature\, color\, music and anythi
 ng else you find uplifts your spirits and raises your vibration. It is als
 o important that you get rid of or clean anything that represents old ener
 gy. Everything has a vibration and when you are striving to raise the vibr
 ation in yourself\, your home and other spaces you interact with\, it is i
 mportant to address what may hold old patterns. It may be time to upgrade 
 your surroundings\, bring in a new piece of art\, and replace things that 
 are worn out or that you just “ended up with” that are not favorites.
