MEDITATION is a PART OF the meaningful LIFE.
Mindfulness meditation
Breath connects us with the present.
Being in the present moment gives us a sense of balance, happiness, self-confidence and peace of mind.
This can be achieved only through meditation.


Aware. Train. Control.
Awareness is the ability to be in full contact with yourself and the world around you. Training the mind in awareness allows you go through life, easily managing your attention, thoughts and emotions.

Stability and calmness of the mind brings clarity, harmony,
precision and efficiency to all aspects of life.
Meditation
and Work life
Mindfulness eliminates automatism in actions, gives the ability to quickly switch between multiple tasks, thus diminishing any form of stress and
as a result minimizing the risk of rapid burnout.

Emotional stability, involvement in the process
of work and relational attunement with colleagues creates a positive collaborative atmosphere with high personal efficacy.
Meditation
and Social life
Openness and self-confidence, a high level
of consciousness and understanding of one's own feelings and emotions helps to identify oneself
in society.

Maintenance of the dignity and tolerance promotes harmonious alignment of one's personal boundaries, defining inner potential and highlighting opportunities, provided by the surrounding world, thus facilitating the successful adaptation
in society.
Meditation
and Education
Concentration of attention improves the quality
of our perception of information, learning
and memory. Awareness enhances our general motivation and helps us indentify the main goals.

Being aware is very important skill
in the overwhelming flow of information
brought on by internet, social media etc.
Meditation
and Wellness
Being relaxed means experiencing less stress
at any moment of unpredictable life.

Through meditation one is able to boost
and replenish energy and be aware of own body, follow required diet and change the lifestyle.
Meditation
and Sports
Through mindfulness we achieve control over
our bodies. It strengthens neural connections between the brain and muscles.

It helps us focus on achievements, maintaining
the precision of goals, while at the same time monitoring emotions, which is important not only for those who are involved in professional sports, but for every health oriented person.
Meditation and Self-development
Perception, which is not bounded by judgments gives space for the manifestation of the best human qualities: kindness, tolerance, attentiveness, curiosity and intuition, thus giving opportunity
for the development of discipline and emotional intelligence.

Meditative self-observation helps to find one's own way of realization and express oneself without difficulties.
Meditation and Science
Meditation is actively studied by scientists all over
the world. Its positive effects on people have been demonstrated statistically through various researches.
73,7%
of people practicing meditation less often needed medical help as against those who did not practice meditation. It was found
in a study of people aged 40 and over. According to the Harvard Medical School
in 1974.
8
weeks of daily practice of mindfulnessmeditation lead to an increase
in gray matter in the areas of the brain responsible for controlling attention
and impulses, as well as their ignoring. According to the research by Dr.Kelly McGonigal of Stanford University.
20
minutes of practice per day helped students improve their performance in tests for cognitive abilities. According to the Mindfullness Report 2010.
Meditation is meant to bring us back to life, back to active life.
To the life of the moment.

Ripa Meditation Centers
The space of silence and the method
of expanding one's awareness.
Network of Ripa meditation halls and centers.
People need a place and an opportunity to stop in the rushed life to realize how they can learn to control their minds and, thereby, influence on the circumstances of one's own and other people lives.

The concept is to create a place of silence for the inhabitants of the big cities, in the midst of active social life, to make the centers for meditation a part of the urban environment, as well as retreat centers for a long stay in the natural environment, far away from the city bustle, which will be even more efficient for rebooting and replenishing ourselves.

RMC projects in Russia:
Irkutsk - meditation pavilion in a city park near the city center on the river bank. Moscow City - a meditation hall in the business center in the most active part of the city.
