Carillon Miami Beach is hosting free, daily meditation classes on the beach all month long to celebrate May being National Meditation Month. Studies show that meditation can improve our psychological wellbeing by reducing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and improving memory and critical thinking.What you may not know that meditation can also make structural changes to the brain? The practice can change the way that neurons talk to each other, creating new circuits and improving memory. The physical benefits of meditation can reduce blood pressure and even bolster the immune system.All month long the Carillon Miami Beach is helping people “tune out” to “tune in” to a happier, healthier and more fulfilling way of life. The beach meditation classes are Monday - Friday 7am, Saturday 8m and Sunday 8:30am.No need to stress, it’s complimentary to local residents every day for the entire month of May. And if you can’t make it, here are 3 Simple Tips for Meditating from Mindy Terry, Vice President of Spa & Wellness at Carillon.3 Simple Tips for Meditating:1) At the office: Silence your phones. Minimize your desktop and close your door. Sit in a comfortable spot, close your eyes and slowly inhale and exhale for 10 minutes.2) Nature: Sit on the beach. Tune in to the sound and smell of the clean ocean air. With eyes open, match your breathing to the ebb and flow of the waves. Try to keep rhythm with the water for 5 minutes. Do this daily, extending time slowly until you are able to sit undistracted for 20 minutes.3) Music: Pick your favorite classical music with sounds of nature. Put on your headphones, lay on your bead and close your eyes. Imagine you are in the environment (forest trail with birdsong sounds, beach with ocean waves sounds, tropical rainforest with rain sounds) for 10 minutes.
