Meditation with Carrie

 

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”  Carl Jung

Daily meditation is one of the best tools we have to bring awareness to the body. Our bodies store crucial information, including accumulated stress and all experiences, both positive and negative. By tuning into our bodies during meditation – feeling the sensations, the emotions – we nurture ourselves. Extensive research confirms that a consistent meditation practice yields real benefits for our mental and physical well-being.
