I started meditation with Janice at Vida Meditation studio approximately a month ago. I took her 3 day course with guided meditation. I am a doctor of audiology. I work fulltime job at a busy ENT clinic and I have a part time job where I contract with a couple local nursing homes to provide services for those residents that have ear problems but cant leave the facility easily. I am a mother. Its my favorite job and most stressful. I have 3 children ages 7, 4, and 1.5 years. I tend to stay very busy and spread thin. I was struggling with fatigue, depression, and anxiety. About a year ago, I had began a practice of reviewing the things I have to be grateful for in my head on a daily basis as I was getting around every morning. Beginning my day with a grateful mind slighly improved my mental health and I thought about how I could expand that practice. Thats when I started to look into meditation. I read some articles about how meditation reduces stress and can improve health. I saw that there were companies that were providing meditation time for their employees to keep them focused and reduce stress. I looked in to an app to guide me into developing my meditation practice and asked my Janice Powis what she knew about the app and if she would recommend it. She told me about the app as I had asked and then told me about her meditation course. She offered to provide instruction via internet connection over the course of 3 days. I took her up on it and it was literally one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I meditate daily and have noticed several improvements in my life. I am resting better. I dont hit my snooze button any more. I have less stress. I dont feel the anxiety I was feeling daily. I feel like I am a better person. I am less reactive in stressful situations. Im not sure why I didnt do this sooner! Its such a simple practice and has had such a profound impact on my life. I would definitely recommend the three day course for anyone looking to feel more relaxed, less stress, and more in tune with the world. And let me just add, the instructor is phenomenal. She is a natural caretaker, public servant, and she has a very calming way about her.
