Audio Meditations by Patricia Kelcher

Meditation allows you to bring together your mind, body and spirit. Take time out of your day to get in touch with yourself.

Whether you're a beginner, or meditation is part of your daily routine, let meditation practitioner Patricia Kelcher help you find tranquility and inner harmony.

Why Meditate?

  • Meditation quiets the mind. From being very active and unfocused, the mind becomes calmer, more focused, clearer-thinking. Breathing deepens and brain waves slow. Blood flow to the brain increases, improving concentration and memory, creating a general feeling of well-being.
  • It is good for the heart. It reduces heart disease, lowers high blood pressure and can even help normalize irregular heartbeat.
  • Meditation increases vitality. It reduces chronic pain (including back pain and certain types of cancer-related pain). Helps control levels of damaging cortisol (a stress hormone). May even help prevent anxiety attacks. Meditation's deep relaxation can boost energy and zest for life!
