<p><strong>The Basics&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Just Be Meditation</strong> was founded in 2006 by owner Eden Kozlowski. Eden has been a student of meditation, energy, spirituality and intuition for 12 years and is also Supervising Editor and Meditation Forum Moderator for the internationally recognized website, <a href="AllThingsHealing.com" target="_blank">AllThingsHealing.com</a>. Eden is a meditation instructor and also gives spiritual, motivational, energetic and intuitive counsel as a speaker, Reverand and Reiki Master. For meditation she teaches two levels: (1) corporate mindfulness classes that focus on mind/body awareness <em>and</em> (2) group sessions that not only advance physical and mental states but also spiritual.</p>
<p><strong>The Specifics&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>There are misconceptions that meditation is a passive practice, when it actually takes much attention. To &#8220;J<em>ust Be&#8221;</em> doesn&#8217;t just mean sitting and trying to clear your mind &#8211; essentially, it is the process of learning how to co-exist with it and then to expand <em>and</em> enhance the way it actually functions and sees the world. And, meditation is also for everyone regardless of religion or background&#8230; it is the honey in your tea.</p>
<p><strong>The Teacher&#8217;s Role&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>What is Eden&#8217;s role in this process? First, she is a teacher. The unfolding of inner depth and joy requires a committed, trusting relationship with, <em>just that</em>, a teacher. She is here to provide a sanctuary of non-judgment and caring. From there she utilizes her years of extensive study in energy work and intuition (full bio <a href="http://justbemeditation.com/bio/" target="_blank">here</a>). Her students also learn to connect to <em>their own energy</em> for self-healing and to help others.</p>
<p><strong>Medical Research&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Research has shown that meditation can help with sleep issues, improve mood, decrease stress, increase concentration, strengthen your immune system, etc. Science has also proven that it literally remaps energy patterns in the brain influencing the shifting from the alpha waves of aroused, conscious thought to the theta waves that dominate the brain during periods of deep relaxation. Finally, there are also specific studies that show it helps with heart issues, PMS, high cholesterol, addictions &#8211; a host of physical, mental and physiological issues. (See research articles/videos <a title="articles/videos" href="http://justbemeditation.com/meditation-articlesvideos/" target="_blank">here</a>.)</p>
<p><strong>Summary&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>All meditation requires is caring about yourself and a commitment of time and energy.</p>
<p>One last note, the majority of Just Be&#8217;s sessions are done in a group setting which is an additional, powerful component. Students express how much more they receive working with other people versus alone. Science has also proven the amazing effects of collective intention, prayer (see the work of <a title="Larry Dossey, MD" href="http://www.dosseydossey.com/larry/default.html" target="_blank">Dr. Larry Dossey</a>). We are lucky enough to prove it works every week.</p>
<p>Is it time for you to discover all that you are&#8230; to &#8220;J<em>ust Be?&#8221;</em></p>
