Meditation, a buzz word and hot trend right now among many circles. Spas, fitness studios and wellness clinics are beginning to add meditation classes to their class schedules. Meditation is a mental exercise that when practiced routinely trains the brain to think, process and react differently. Just like physical exercise, this mental exercise has many benefits backed by science including its ability to reduce stress and anxiety, improve cognitive function, improve focus, strengthen the immune system and improve cardiovascular health.
Meditation comes in many forms and styles, similar to workouts and most well-known for clearing the mind or letting go of your thoughts these are not the only techniques meditation has to offer. Meditation can come in the form of walking, listening to music and even observing your thoughts rather than letting them go.
As a fitness professional you coach your clients to live a healthier lifestyle, incorporating exercise into their daily routine to strengthen their body and improve their health, many times clients are facing a mental game that may be limiting or discouraging them from reaching their optimal goals. Meditation and mindfulness practices can help combat this often negative mental dialogue.
