Change is the only constant in our universe yet it can cause various forms of stress within our lives.  Learning how to ride the positive and negative waves of change that flow into our lives is paramount to us being able to find happiness in any moment.  Meditation is a valuable tool that can help us manage some of the largest life changes.

1. Negative changes to our health.  As we experience negative changes to our health, these can be extremely stressful and elicit immune responses in our bodies that are counterproductive to healing.  Meditation has proven to improve patient outcomes for heath related issues.
2. Positive changes to our health.  When we experience positive changes to our health (such as weight reduction) or a serious illness goes into remission, the sudden influx of new opportunities may cause stress.  Meditation can help us find internal balance as our physical experience changes.
3. Negative changes to our financial security.  Layoffs, changes in pay, and other financial losses can immediately shake our confidence.  A strong practice in meditation can help us find stability within ourselves despite financial limitations.
4. Positive changes to our financial stability.  On the contrary, positive changes to our financial status can increase stress in our lives.  Sometimes, being faced with more choices and options can challenge us with decision fatigue.  Meditation can help you uncover which choices serve you better than others.
5. Negative relationship changes.  When we experience break-ups or other types of relationship changes, we can sometimes begin to overly analyze “what went wrong” instead of letting go.  Meditation can not only allow us to let go of thoughts that don’t serve us any longer but can also help us learn to let go of relationships that aren’t benefiting us anymore.
6. Positive relationship changes.  When we begin a new friendship or relationship, the influx of positive emotions and new experiences can create stress.  Meditation can help us stay grounded.

Negative and positive external changes offer us beautiful experiences to change internally.  Meditation can help us navigate the seas of change so that we welcome all experiences and the internal growth that seems to flourish as a result.
