MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating non-judgmental awareness in day to day life. Rekindle the Spirit Institute offers basic, advanced and “going deeper” programs of mindfulness.
WHY MINDFULNESS? With meditation, the physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more energy. This results in joy, peace, enthusiasm as the level of positive energy in the body increases.
On a physical level, meditation:

- Decreases any tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems
