Is your mind too busy, feel you don’t have time or do you want to reduce the time you spend in destructive mind states such as anger and doubt?
This 6 week program is designed for beginners to develop your own practice of meditation and familiarise yourself into a rhythm of regular sitting. This is not something you can fail at! After all, life is an experiment of trial and error, cause and effect. We will shine a spotlight on the bumps along the way that may discourage your meditation practice and how you can navigate your way to embracing the highest potential available for you right now. Just as you are.
During this program we will explore the relationship to our mind through the philosophies of yoga and buddhism.
You will come to know the differences and benefits of mindfulness, concentration, visualisation and relaxation techniques and what will work best as a support for you. You will also discover (through your own practice and the practice of many people before you) the difficulties you may come across on your path, and how to wisely and compassionately navigate these in your practice.
Find out creative ways to incorporate moments of stillness and awareness during your day to day life.
Expand your capacity of kindness for yourself and others as a way of living in harmony with a natural resonance to life.
Feel for yourself the intrinsic rewards of a meditation practice and encourage and increase the impacts of this as a regular part of your life.
Discover for yourself your innate goodness that is always within reach. Sometimes, in states of overwhelm, we forget the existense of this, but we can become familiar with the way back to this state and start the process of living from this embodied understanding.
