Practice guided meditation in South Africa’s “Outback” South Africa’s “Outback” is the rugged and mystical Karoo desert, a destination that has intrigued humankind since the earliest of times. A sacred site identified for its abundance of healing plants and herbs, as well as its age-old importance as a conduit to the gods, the Karoo is the majestic destination of guided meditations in South Africa. A guided meditation holiday destination The Karoo is an ancient land, hewn and crafted over 250 million years ago. Until the 1800s, it was the exclusive domain of small Stone Age tribes of hunter gatherers. The Karoo offers solitude, tranquillity, serenity and silence, all of which are properties common to the world’s deserts, and all of which are crucial elements in the age-old practice of meditation. With vast tracts of dry, uninhabited land, crystal clear air, thick with the scent of wild herbs & honey, and a big blue sky that bows down to the horizon, the Karoo is a place where the mind, body and soul can heal in unison with nature. What is guided meditation? Guided meditation is simply a sacred inner-journey where your imagination is harnessed and guided by a significant other with the sole purpose of achieving spiritual and emotional healing. As an effective method of silencing the inner chatter of the conscious and subconscious minds, meditation, in any guise, is best practised in an area that resonates with its founding principles – the quiet introspection of the present. The benefits of meditation The ancient practice of meditation can have a profound effect on the physical, emotional, physiological and spiritual aspects of humans. With its ability to create inner calm and a focused and tranquil state of mind, mediation has been particularly successful in the treatment of high levels of stress, depression and anxiety, so much so that meditation is the catalyst for the increasing incidence of alpha brain waves, a sure sign of a more relaxed frame of mind. Practitioners of meditation also produce less cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress! Meditation is a powerful physiological tool too, which can aid the improvement of heart disease, reduce pain, enhance the immune system and, by decreasing the thickness of the arterial walls, decrease the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
