Meditation Testimonials.
Justin came and did a lunch and learn as a part of our company’s wellness program and did a great job of providing an introduction to meditation. The knowledge Justin had on the history of meditation was very helpful in understanding its benefits. He made us aware of all of the ways meditation can help in achieving wellness through stress management. The meditation exercises were extremely relaxing!

As a member of our agency’s Health and Wellness committee, I suggested arranging a meditation talk or class for our staff. After searching the internet for local meditation resources, Justin from Equilibrium was one of the first people I called. He was very willing and enthusiastic about providing this service for us. Not knowing Justin, I didn’t know what to expect, but his easygoing manner and practical way of talking about meditation quickly put me and the rest of the group at ease. The exercises were simple but made an instant noticeable impact on my physical state. Justin also understood the nature of peoples’ busy schedules and encouraged us to start small. He was very inspiring and clearly passionate about the benefits of meditation.
