"I can say on behalf of CDA Health that we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and any scepticism going in on behalf of our team was quickly alleviated by your approach, information and energy. I had only positive feedback from everyone who participated; they were grateful for the opportunity not just to learn the technique but to gain a deeper understanding of the value of mediation in their day-to-day lives and then to also be able to take some time out to enjoy the experience."

The science
Productivity
Science shows that when the mind is stressed brain performance suffers. To be optimal in all situations meditation reduces the stress “Fight or flight” response, empowering us to use our mental faculties to their full potential.
Stress
Stress is widely regarded as potentially the biggest killer on the planet and that the majority of Doctors visits are caused by stress related factors.
Meditation has been shown to decrease the impacts of stress on our minds and bodies, and even when we do feel stress we learn to very quickly “let go” of those stress states.

Depression/Anxiety
According to recent studies depression and anxiety are impacting nearly half the adult population. The World Health Organisation predicts depression by 2020 will be the leading burden of disease. Meditation has been found to helps heal depression and anxiety about as effectively as antidepressants. Meditation floods the brain with dopamine and serotonin, chemicals that are all about feeling good.
From Rich Muir
In business we really need to be on to run a business, manage a team, hit our targets, communicate effectively with our colleagues. And then manage to turn that off when we leave and be the best version of ourselves with our loved ones. Some can do this well, others with all the other stresses of life find it more challenging.
Hence why we are seeing increases in the workspace of stress, anxiety, depression and absenteeism.
At some point the body has a breakdown as the nervous system needs to “time out”, which if we do not give that respite can lead to burn out. This is what led me to meditation. After being the general sales manager of a Mercedes-Benz dealership in my late 20’s to early 30’s I hit burn out, with chronic fatigue and depression. Yet still kept trying to “power on”.
Since bringing meditation into my life, I have run businesses and managed teams and now spend my full time sharing these ancient science backed practices with others to be able to perform at the highest level without running ourselves dry.
