Effects of Meditation

Your perception of reality is directly related to your state of consciousness. The only truthful way you can change your state of consciousness and thereby your reality is from within. Meditation is all about finding inner peace and tranquillity, connecting with your essential self, your body and the universe. It establishes a mind-body-spirit connection.
