Event : TREE OF LIFE ENERGY GROUNDING MEDITATION
Date : 1st of October 2006, Sunday
Duration : 2 Hours
Venue : LOA Headquarter
Meeting Time : 1pm
Time : 1- 3pm
Meeting Point : Bishan
This is a Powerful Healing Energy Meditation to help you cleanse ourselves from any extraneous thoughts or emotions that might prove distracting, or even harmful to our life. Grounding is a most, if not the most, important first step to any aspect of life, be it magickal or otherwise. When we have been grounded, we are able to focus solely on our awareness without wandering off from what we have in our intention and we can stand firm on our path & life.
When we connect with the Earth, we are connecting with the body of the living Goddess, so that Her energies are made available to us, travel through us, envelope us, and heal us. It is important that we not use our own personal energy, so as not to become depleted.
After Meditation will be a Sharing Session with Oceanos about it & all aspects of your life. A maximum participants of 12 with limited seatings, all are welcome. A Small Energy Exchange Love Donation is applicable to enable LOA to facilitate this event & more upcoming events in future. So what are you waiting for? Confirm your attendance now to avoid disappointment. I am sure it will be a Fruitful, Fun, Enjoyable & Positive experience for all who attend irregardless if its your 1st try at Meditation or its part of your practice already. For more Enquiries can PM Oceanos, Karkadann or MoonIce.

A recent study suggests that practicing meditation can boost the immune system.
By Heidi Kotansky
Meditation is widely known to reduce stress and anxiety, but now science has proven that it may even help prevent illness. In a study at the University of Wisconsin--Madison, researchers found that mindfulness meditation produced lasting positive changes in both the brain and the immune system.
Mindfulness meditation is designed to teach people to be present with full awareness in the moment, intentionally and nonjudgmentally, explains Katherine Bonus, meditation instructor and manager of mindfulness programs in the integrative medicine program at the UW--Madison Hospital and Clinics.
Often recommended to ease the stress and pain of chronic disease, it can help practitioners accept thoughts and feelings as they occur and deepen awareness of positive emotions, such as compassion.
The research team, led by Richard Davidson, professor of psychology and psychiatry at UW--Madison, found that mindfulness meditation produced biological effects that improved the subjects' resiliency. The experimental group, composed of 25 participants, received meditation training from Jon Kabat-Zinn, who developed a mindfulness-based stress-reduction program at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. They attended weekly meditation classes as well as one seven-hour retreat during the study; they also practiced at home for an hour a day, six days a week. Those in the control group didn't meditate during the course of the study.
The researchers then measured electrical activity in the front parts of both groups' brains, the area that corresponds to emotion. Previous research has shown that the left side of this area becomes more active than the right side when a positive emotion is experienced, a pattern also associated with optimism. The study showed increased activity in the left side among meditators, significantly more than was seen in the control group.
Those meditating also demonstrated stronger immune function than those in the control group. All the participants received a flu vaccine at the end of the eight-week study period. Then, at four and eight weeks after the shot was given, their blood was tested to measure the levels of antibodies they had produced against the vaccine.
While everyone who participated in the study had an increased number of antibodies, the meditators had a significantly greater increase than the control group. "The changes were subtle, but statistically it was significant," says Dan Muller, M.D., head of the immunology core of UW--Madison's Mind-Body Center, which conducted the study's blood analysis. "It was startling that such a short intervention could produce a change." Plans for more research on the impact of meditation are under way. Davidson and his team are currently working with a group of people who have been practicing meditation for more than 30 years; they are also preparing to conduct a study on the impact of mindfulness meditation on people with specific health conditions.
