You've heard meditation can improve your life, but maybe you need proof. According to a recent study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, meditation can actually increase the functioning of the immune system, and improve brain activity. The findings from this study revealed increased levels of antibodies in subjects who meditated. In addition, those people who practiced meditation saw as much as a 50 percent increase in brain activity in the part of the brain responsible for producing positive emotions and reducing anxiety. |

This is a nice little exercise using energy to increase positivity and reduce stress. Find somewhere nice and quiet to relax where you won't be disturbed. Make sure you are comfortable and your back is supported. If you can adjust the lighting in your room try lowering it to a dusk-like level. Not too dark you don't want to fall asleep, but nothing so bright that it will be distracting. Focus on your breathing, take nice long, slow, deep, breaths, Let all your thoughts quiet down and drift away. |

For me, the seasons represents 2 aspects. The path through my own life and the spiritual path. Firstly, the path through my life and how the seasons map this out. Autumn has particular significance for me. Spring is birth (or re-birth!). Clearly, this is visible in the explosion of flowers and the greenery that erupts out from the trees and hedgerows. But in spring we catch elements of the previous winter, still left hanging. The ice. |

Whilst everyone likes the idea of being relaxed at work it is difficult in most companies to find the necessary support to make that kind of holistic change. Three excuses may be heard repeatedly: no time, no space, or the managers wouldn't accept it. These answers indicate a lack of understanding of the true benefits of relaxation. Any manager who really knows the difference it can make will create space, time and support throughout the workplace. |
