How An Astrology Reading Lead To Meditation And Solved Sleepless Nights

11/14/2013

I am finally sleeping through the night! Have a definite focus and direction on where I am going with my business and my personal life. I originally went to Leslie for an astrology reading, which I have to say was absolutely amazing. During our session we spoke about my sleepless nights, finding my focus and never ending buzzing mind.

I took Leslie's level 1 colour meditation course. Now you have to know I am not one to sit still for too long. When Leslie told me to meditate for 20 minutes every morning I have to admit I did feel a little bit of panic. After the 2nd day I couldn't believe that the 20 minutes were up. I was so relaxed, felt confident, ready for my day. I don't miss a day without taking that 20 minutes. Leslie also gave me a meditation to perform at bedtime. I think for the first time in many many years I am sleeping through the night, not waking up and feeling rejuvenated for the day ahead.

Thank you Leslie for all that you have done for me.

You have heard a lot about the benefits of meditation on TV, in the news and on this website. If you would like to start this rewarding practice, just in time for the stressful Holiday Season, but aren't sure how to begin... you will want to attend this workshop!

"We respond to colour through our emotions, when I give a client a colour to meditate on it helps to reprogram their subconscious so that they respond to stressful situations with a new outlook rather than from old programming.

Colour meditation is a delightful way to learn to meditate because you get results very quickly and it is fun and very easy to learn."
Leslie Traill

"The meditation technique that Leslie has taught me has helped me make changes in my life. I have been very stressed with personal issues and facing major surgery so the technique has helped me reduce stress, allowed me to be more relaxed. This happened almost immediately upon using the meditations.

I feel confident that I have a tool to help me deal with whatever life throws at me.
Thank you, Leslie"

"Studies have shown that taking the time to unwind can alter your genes for the better. Harvard researchers discovered that just 20 minutes of relaxation boosts genetic activity, which may strengthen immune function and improve the ways we metabolize energy and regulate blood sugar."

From this research the genetic benefits were obvious within eight weeks, even for the beginning meditator. If Mediation is not something that you do regularly, then try it today, attend a class or workshop, or work with a meditation coach to get inspired. Once you are comfortable you can Meditate on your own every morning or every evening, which ever fits into your schedule.

Studies Show Meditation and Exercise Can Guard Against Postpartum Depression

9/18/2013

I was reading an article this morning about New Mom's experiencing a desire to get back in shape after the birth of a new baby and that Exercise and Meditation can reduce the chances of depression. It triggered an old feeling in me and I automatically went back to the way I felt over 40 years ago when I gave birth to my two girls, one in 1971 and the other in 1973. At the time there were no groups to reach out to that were a support system for New Moms. I actually am feeling quite emotional writing this blog and remembering how I felt...isolated, depressed and at times so lonely that I wanted to scream...I was a very young mother, 23 when I gave birth to my first daughter and 25 when I gave birth to my second daughter.

A 2008 study by Dr. Cassandra Vieten from the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute looked at the effects of mindfulness meditation and Hatha Yoga on prenatal stress and mood and demonstrated a 20-25% reduction in stress levels and anxiety in pregnant women.

Meditation was literally a life saver for me; it allowed me to calm down when I was feeling sad, frustrated and lonely. By going into that calm place and reconnecting with myself I started to feel at peace, loving and very connected to my babies. There were ups and downs and being a young mom was not an easy task, however, having this wonderful tool to keep me focused really saved my sanity. I meditated every day for sometimes 10 minutes and sometimes 20 minutes depending on the demands of the day...this was "my time"...babies napped and I meditated.

“For women at risk (of postpartum depression), it’s definitely of value (meditation)...It’s a non-pharmacological means of prevention and should be offered in addition to other parenting classes and skills.”
Dr. Zindel Segal, one of the founders of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy and Cameron Wilson Chair in Depression Studies at the University of Toronto.

To this day I still meditate for 20 minutes per day and it allows me to re-connect with myself on a daily basis and have the energy I need to succeed in a healthy marriage, run a business, spend time with family and friends, be able to connect with my beautiful grandchildren and exercise daily with more energy than I could ever imagined having at the age of 65.

A study by Dr. Sona Dimidjian from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado is showing the “favourable” results of a first-ever study done on at-risk pregnant women who continued a meditation and yoga practice into the post partum period.

Treat yourself, learn how to Meditate and schedule it into your day even if it is only for a few minutes, I guarantee you will see a difference...

If you are pregnant or a new mother, I invite you to try my meditation coaching. It could make all the difference in your post-natal health.
