Meditation vs. Prayer. What's the difference?




Life comes at you hard.  Every day you have thousands of decisions to make, you are bombarded with distractions and everyone wants a piece of you. You have to know when to put the brakes on, back off and rejuvenate our minds and spirit.  It's an essential part of the healthy lifestyle we are all working to attain. 



Have you ever been folding a large load of laundry and the next thing you know you, you snap out of a daze and the clothes are folded and you have no idea what you had thought about?  This is actually a form of meditation!  

Ask around to your friends, you will be surprised at how many don't mind doing house chores because they find it calming.  This is why!

Meditation is a worldwide practice.  It is a huge component to spiritual and professional success!  When I first introduce my clients to meditation I like to be very clear on the difference between meditation and prayer.  

Meditation improves your clarity.  When you clarity improves, your life improves!  Prayer is a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship.

Prayer is gratitude and very important in your life and prayer comes in many different forms. Meditation is... nothing.  It is finding a moment of peace and nothingness for your mind.  

Meditation is giving up control and trusting your consciousness to reside free of thought, emotion or action.  

There are many forms of meditation!  Here is an article with some tips to get started.  It's not as intimidating as it may sound!


Keep in mind, losing some weight is great but the first step to a better life starts from within and you can start that NOW!
