Meditation training can help people relax, focus, and be more mindful of all aspects of their lives. At Dallas Whole Life Counseling, our meditation coaches can teach you techniques to use in your everyday life to calm your mind and relax your body.
Meditation can have a profound impact on your overall health. With meditation, many people are able to:
- reduction stress;
- improved focus and concentration;
- control anger;
- control anxiety;
- get better, more restful sleep;
- reduce blood pressure; and
- reduce reliance on medications.
Being more mindful allows you to be more in the moment, and gives you a getter understanding of your feelings and actions. For many people, it can increase creativity, reduce regret and resentment, and help people better achieve their goals.
At Dallas Whole Life Counseling, our Meditation & Mindfulness Training program is overseen by co-founder and co-owner James Robbins. James is a licensed professional counselor and author of Build a Better Buddha, a book exploring the intersection of Western psychology and various meditative traditions and practices. Based on your specific background, treatment goals and personal strengths, James customizes a program of mindfulness practice that fits into your daily life. This usually involves “take home” practices for daily use, as well as meditation practice in session. James emphasizes meditation as a tool for living a more satisfying, authentic life.
The goal is to become a happier, healthier person.
“With meditation practice, you become more compassionate and genuine, responding to situations as the real you rather than simply slipping on another social mask. A big part of why we experience so much frustration is because we’re more invested in the story of who we are rather than the truth of who we are. We think too much. We’ve learned to re-interpret and manipulate experiences, both inner and outer, to such a degree that it’s easy to lose touch with our authentic selves. We’re frustrated by others who are ‘fake’ and ‘phony’ because we know at some level that we’re also living our lives one step removed. The social games people play seem to provide a safety net in case things don’t work out, in case relationships go sour. But wearing a costume of yourself from day to day is liking taking a shower with a ski coat on. You can’t truly connect to life if you’re always sending in your ‘stunt double’ to handle all the messy work.”
