Stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, and drained… when life happens, this is just a snippet of emotions and feelings that can wash over you like a relentless wave – pounding away repeatedly at you day in and day out. There’s more to life than just struggling to survive and pushing through the hardships that come your way. When you desire to gain more from your life, destress with ease, and intentionally give up the the way of life that constantly beats you down, meditation may be the key to unlocking your greatest potential.
There is a way to reprogram your heart and mind while rewiring the brain to help you feel more balanced, resulting in increased self-awareness and feelings of contentment. It’s a way to upgrade yourself while helping yourself be a better you. Introducing: Meditation.
Remember all those times you thought it was a little ridiculous looking to sit cross-legged, thumb to finger visual of meditation that seems more for show than an effective self-healing modality? Scientific studies have proven how meditation changes and enhances the brain. This enhancement manifests itself as improvement in your health and emotional wellbeing. Research also shows the benefits of positive practices and mindfulness.
Based upon this science, personal development is really all about growth, improvement, and increased well-being. More specifically, Akasha Meditation is built around the five organic elements focusing on different areas of life:
- FIRE is about the role that love and desire play in our life.
- EARTH is about our need for harmony and balance.
- WATER is about flow and productivity.
- METAL is about our need for success and accomplishment.
- WOOD is about enhancing our creativity and innovation.
When you dive into each element, it contains seven content-rich sessions based on curated, psychologically informed concepts which are presented in a simple and easy to understand language.
Yes, when all is said and done, this sounds amazing; however, as a busy mom, dad, parent, or human, integrating a personal meditation session is easier said than done. Since Akasha Meditation launched as an evidence-based wholehearted living app in response to the significant growth of consumers seeking alternative methods to meditation, mindfulness, and personal development, moms and other family members are always on the go, so the app provides an easy, simple way to start exploring different areas of your life that you want to improve.
The language is easy to understand and you can go at your own pace which is great for parents and even teenagers. In addition, the sessions incorporate mindfulness and positive practices that relate to many aspects of your life such as love, creativity, success, and balance.
Create balance – infinite or sky, Akasha Meditation was developed based on the philosophy that, at the most basic level, the purpose of life is to grow, and when we grow in a healthy way, happiness, satisfaction, and well-being are achieved.
When people feel restricted in certain aspects of their life, they are unable to grow or reach their infinite potential. As a mother, psychiatrist, coach, and author, Tina Chadda, creator of Akasha Meditation, wanted to create a self-coaching tool focused on cultivating strength, resilience, and wellness that provides the motivation and access for anyone interested in reaching their full potential and enhance natural resilience.
All of this potential can be reached anywhere from 10-30 minutes per day. Each module is available in a short version or longer format for a deeper dive. The beauty of it is that you can go at your own pace, repeat sessions, etc. All of this can easily be achieved by setting the intention to want to live a fuller life of potential that you already know you are capable of. With convenient notifications to break you free from the grind of work, work, work… you’re always on track keeping YOU in mind.
Other exercises include developing positivity and how to get into flow, while other exercises help you focus on cultivating success in your life. It’s a well-rounded program to hit every aspect in your life that you are meant to thrive in.
