Here is a great meditation tool for both beginning and advanced meditators alike. Over 20 different guided meditations and talks by Erich Schiffmann, recorded live, full of shakti and in-the-moment wisdom!!! Each meditation has the ability for you to specify exactly how many minutes you want it to last. Meditation has been clinically proven to reduce stress, tension and lower the heart rate, leading to improved physical and mental health, calmness and peace-of-mind.
Most meditators face the problem of how to know when to stop meditating: this usually means opening your eyes and looking at a clock, or if you have an alarm, turning off the annoying buzzer when the time is up. In either case, your meditation has been interrupted and spoiled. With iMeditateWithErich, you are guided into and out of the meditation - and you can specify how long you want the silence in the middle to be!
Erich Schiffmann has gained international recognition for his unique approach to yoga and meditation. His teaching conveys a complete experience of yoga, what he calls “the art of living.” His emphasis is that of "moving into stillness" in order to be "guided from within," and he uses meditation, asana, pranayama, deep relaxation and discussion to elicit this experience. Erich taught yoga at the Krishnamurti School in England for five years, has studied yoga in India and Europe, and now lives in Santa Monica, CA, where he teaches local classes, workshops, teacher trainings and retreats. He is the author of YOGA: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness.
