Meditation Classes
' Loneliness, is when you don't like the person you are alone with' Meditation can take many forms. It can consist of focusing on the breath; on thoughts as they come and go; or it can become extremely advanced and specialised. Whether we know it or not, we have all meditated in some form or other: staring into a fire; watering the garden; staring at the waves on the beach; listening to the hypnotic sound of the waves as they roll onto the sand....these are all forms of meditation that we do unconsciously and feel more relaxed as a result. Meditation can be as simple as you want. The popularity meditation has gained recently comes as a result of people discovering just how beneficial it can be in their lives. It is a way of alleviating the stress of modern life and reclaiming the spiritual void that is so prevalent in our society today. I teach meditation for beginners in small groups during the school term. We sit in chairs, (although you are welcome to sit on the floor if you wish) and I take you through a guided relaxation which teaches your body to relax. Because we lead such stressful lives our body is on high alert much of the time so we need to teach it how to relax, just like we taught it how to ride a bike and drive a car. We don't sit and meditate for the entire hour and a half, I will take your through a short guided visualisation which we will discuss afterwards. We do about three meditations each week and then slowly build on what you have learnt, so that you can then meditate on your own at home. I have had 100% success...everyone has been able to meditate in the first lesson. So if you've always wanted to try meditation here's your chance!
