The benefits of meditation are becoming widely known, both physical and psychological, from reduced blood pressure and cortisol production to an increase in neuroplasticity and a boosted immune system - the perfect activity to calm and restore.
Each meditation has a thought-provoking theme, based on the poetry reading list below and was recorded in the Frankton Library between July and August 2020.
So sit back, relax and embark on a guided journey with Clare from Queenstown Mediation in the comfort of your own home and walk away refreshed, renewed and inspired.
