BENDING REALITY
Welcome! I am Eleonora Gendelman, yoga & meditation teacher, personal trainer, artist, fashion designer, and life coach. In this podcast I am exploring and sharing ways to create life on purpose, using all the tools we have within. Asking questions to challenge our beliefs and limitations, who we are, our human experience, and the laws of the universe. Going beyond what we already know about ourselves, others, and this world, and opening ourselves up to possibilities.
Empowering you to live with intention and purpose!

BENDING REALITY
TTM#2 WHY MEDITATE?
Humans possess a unique superpower that animals do not: the ability to think about the past and plan for the future.
We cannot be present in the past - past is a memory, we cannot be present in the future - future is vision, the only time we can be present in, is right here right now.
Meditation is a tool to develop present-moment awareness. Just as exercise develops muscles, practicing presence through meditation strengthens neural connections.
Meditation, asana/physical practice, and pranayama/breathwork stimulate our brain, which helps prevent atrophy and functional decline. It slows down the natural reduction of brain tissue and improves memory, focus, problem-solving, and emotion regulation, at the same time lessening the brain’s fear response.
