2. What is GLO Meditation
GLO Meditation offers onsite meditation wellness workshops for corporations, hotels and resorts, upscale living
communities, sports teams, talent, private groups, individuals and events including “Meditate and Mingle”
mixers.
GLO Meditation is a non-religious, 30-60 minutes of meditation. We create a welcoming non judgmental space
for all to come and experience meditation at their own level. At the beginning of each session, the facilitator will
help guide the group into a state of relaxation; once achieved the individual will focus on self awareness,
consciousness, mindfulness and breathing. During this time the individual will learn the tools needed for
meditating on their own. We then close with positive suggestions and affirmations for the individual to carry with
them throughout the day.
“GLO” stand for showing G.ratitude, L.ove and O.neness for humanity as well as accepting Gratitude, Love, and
O.neness from others.

always find a way back to you.
4. Understanding Meditation
Meditation is a practice in which an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness, either to
realize some benefit or for the mind to simply acknowledge its content without becoming identified with that
content.
Meditation often involves an internal effort to self-regulate the mind in some way. Meditation is often used to
clear the mind and ease many health concerns, such as high blood pressure,depression, and anxiety.
As stated by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a U.S. government entity within
the National Institutes of Health that advocates various forms of Alternative Medicine, "Meditation may be
practiced for many reasons, such as to increase calmness and physical relaxation, to improve psychological
balance, to cope with illness, or to enhance overall health and well-being.”
5. OBJECTIVES OF THE
GLO MEDITATION WORKSHOPS
• 1) INCREASE PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES BY INTRODUCING THEM TO THE PRACTICE OF MEDITATION.
• 2) EDUCATE THE ATTENDEES ON WHAT MEDITATION IS AND THE OVERALL BENEFITS TO THEIR
TOTAL WELL BEING.
• 3) OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL PHYSICAL FITNESS/YOGA PROGRAMS, FOR PEOPLE
WITH INJURIES OR PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS THE OPPORTUNITY TO STILL PARTICIPATE IN A GROUP
WORKSHOP..
• 4) ATTENDEES LEAVE WITH A UNIQUE RELAXING EXPERIENCE, THAT WILL HAVE THEM SHARING
VIA WORD OF MOUTH AND SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS AND
NETWORKS.
• 5) CREATE A WELCOMING, NON- JUDGMENTAL, OPEN SPACE FOR ALL TO COME AND EXPERIENCE
MEDITATION.
• 6) OUR GOAL IS THAT THE ATTENDEES WILL PRACTICE AND SHARE MEDITATION WITH OTHERS.
7. MEDITATION INCREASES BRAIN SIZE!
BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF WHAT SCIENTISTS CALL “NEUROPLASTICITY”,
RESEARCHERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN DISCOVERED THAT
MEDITATION BENEFICIALLY INCREASES THE NEURAL “GRAY MATTER
THICKNESS” OF CERTAIN BRAIN REGIONS.
TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY, MEDITATION MAKES YOUR BRAIN BIGGER, SMARTER,
AND FASTER, IN THE SAME WAY THAT PHYSICAL EXERCISE MAKES YOUR
MUSCLES STRONGER, DENSER, WITH MORE ENDURANCE.
8. Brain Activity and Meditation
Highlighted region shows the
anterior cingulate cortex, a
region of the brain shown to be
activated during meditation.
Meditation’s effect on the brain can be broken up into
two categories: state changes and trait changes,
respectively alterations in brain trait changes have also
been observed in neuroimaging studies, most often
employing fMRI. These changes were distinguished
by density increases in grey matter regions and white
matter pathways in the brains of individuals who
meditate in comparison to individuals who do not. Of
all areas with reported findings, a greater number of
structural changes were found in the left hemisphere.
9. EMOTIONAL BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
MEDITATION CAN GIVE YOU A SENSE OF CALM, PEACE AND
BALANCE THAT BENEFITS BOTH YOUR WELL BEING AND OVERALL
HEALTH.
• MEDITATION MAY CARRY YOU MORE
CALMLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY
• BUILDING SKILLS TO MANAGE STRESS
• FOCUSED ATTENTION
• GAINING A PERSPECTIVE ON
STRESSFUL SITUATIONS
• BUILDS EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
• ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

AWAY THE INFORMATION OVERLOAD
THAT BUILDS UP EVERY DAY AND
CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR STRESS.
• INCREASING SELF-AWARENESS
• REDUCING NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
• INNER PEACE
• BOOST COMPASSION

10. PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
A GROWING BODY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SUPPORTS THE HEALTH BENEFITS
OF MEDITATION, SUCH AS:
• BOOST SEROTONIN LEVELS
• RELIEF FROM ASTHMA
• REDUCE CHRONIC DISEASES
• DEPRESSION
• SLOWS THE AGING PROCESS

EXERCISE

11. ATTENDEES WITH SOME PHYSICAL
LIMITATIONS CAN PRACTICE MEDITATION
• NO NEED TO SIT IN SOME AWKWARD YOGA POSE.
• MEDITATION MEANS DOING NOTHING. IF YOUR MUSCLES ARE TENSE, IT WILL
BE DIFFICULT TO SLOW AND CALM YOUR BREATH. MEDITATION IS THE ART OF
QUIETING YOURSELF DOWN SO THAT YOUR BRAIN GOES INTO THE STILLEST
RHYTHM, CALLED DELTA, WHICH IS EQUAL TO DEEP SLEEP, AND WHEN YOUR
BRAIN GOES STILL, YOU CAN'T BE DOING ANYTHING ELSE.
• THERE IS NO CHANTING, IN FACT, INNER PEACE HAS NO SOUND. SO TURN THE
ELECTRONIC DEVICES OFF AND LISTEN TO THE QUIET. DON'T SPEAK JUST
RELAX AND MEDITATE.

14. A NOTE FROM GLORIA
After reading through this presentation, hopefully you were able to realize all the benefits of meditation. This is
just the beginning of my new journey and I am extremely excited to share everything I have learned and
practiced throughout the years. It has changed my life and I want others to experience the same benefits. I am
just starting out, and have tremendous passion and huge visions for GLO Meditation. I know that as long as I
focus on all the positive and continue to truly care about others, including you, that I will succeed. My heart,
mind and soul are completely devoted to making a difference in people’s lives.
Once again, if there is anyway that you can contribute or know someone that can, it would be greatly
appreciated it. Whether it be allowing me to use your venue during non business hours for group sessions,
hosting us at your location, donating yoga mats, beverages, referencing GLO Meditation in an article/blog, P.R
opportunities, or hosting/sponsoring a workshop. My goal is to be able to introduce the benefits of meditation
to everyone and anyone. I would love to work together towards building a society of self aware, considerate
and conscious minded people. I believe in paying it forward and that good intentions always comes full circle.
Have a wonderful day- Gloria

As a society of people, we should care about humanity, our world and
making an effort to reflect before reacting. By practicing conscious
awareness in our lives, we are positively affecting not only our own
lives, but the lives of people we associate with as a byproduct. If we
can share the GLO to just one person, we can make a difference.
Sharing the “GLO” simply means to show G.ratitude, L.ove and O.
neness to humanity as well as accepting Gratitude, Love, and
Oneness from others. If we can imagine living in a world where
people feel appreciated, heard and accepted for who they are, I
believe there would be less anger, resentment, and depression;
therefore less violence in our workplace, less bullying in our schools,
less conflict with our loved ones, and more peace and acceptance
within ourselves.
Please consider being apart of sharing the G.L.O
