New meditation program improves your health | Paul Farquhar

Meditating program to the Comox Valley. Drawing on 35 years of meditation practice, yoga studies throughout India and Nepal, and a Ph.D. in psychology, Dr. Diamond?s meditation program improves health and wellness with simple and low impact breathing, visualization, microyoga and other guided meditation techniques for people of any age or fitness level.

Even those new to meditation can easily learn to relax deeply, reduce stress and improve sleep, energy, blood pressure, pain, alertness, weight loss and many health issues. Sleep, for example, improves quickly and dramatically with regular meditation. This is because sleep problems ? and up to 80% of all health issues ? are greatly influenced by stress.

High stress levels harm your sleep and health by revving up your sympathetic nervous system into a chronic ?fight or flight? mode. Large amounts of cortisol hormone skyrocket your blood sugar, speed your metabolism, suppress your immune system, decrease bone formation and produce depression, pain, anxiety and other illness. Stress greatly increases your vulnerability to disease and injury.

Relaxation, on the other hand ? especially profound relaxation, fuels healing and positive life changes. Relaxation strengthens your parasympathetic nervous system, which replenishes healing hormones and neurotransmitters that help your body restore and repair itself.

Through profound relaxation, Health meditating strengthens your mind and nervous system, which give you more control over your health and well-being. Your breathing and blood circulation improve. You sleep better, fight off the effects of stress and rebound more quickly from disease and injury. As your body?s natural healing capacities increase, you feel better and more motivated toward healthy foods, exercise and other positive lifestyle choices.

Beginning this September, Dr. Diamond offers individual consultation and workshops, including:

BETTER SLEEP ? Decrease insomnia, sleep onset time and nightly waking. Lengthen deep sleep cycles, increase sleep efficiency and reduce time needed for full, restful sleep.
