Why meditate? You may have heard how meditation and mindfulness practices can offer scientifically verifiable benefits for your physical and spiritual health. Meditation benefits include reduction in stress; improved psychological, emotional, and physical well-being; as well as increases in compassion and altruistic behaviors. Beyond the scientific benefits—and more importantly for many seekers and spiritual companions—meditation fosters an openness of mind and heart that can be transformative, making room for spiritual growth.
Through his work with college students, creative artists, and writers, Sean Murphy has developed an inclusive, non-denominational approach to these powerful tools, which can be put into practice by anyone—including you and the people you spiritually companion.
