An Introduction to Meditation

Find More Peace in Your Life

Have you noticed how busy your mind is?

For most people, thoughts come and go in a torrent. Busy minds use up energy and constantly propel us from one difficult mental state to another.

Wouldn't it be nice if your mind was a little quieter and free from the stories which create anxiety, stress, dissatisfaction, craving, irritation and anger? 
Buddhist meditation can help to move you towards this state.

For 2.500 years Buddhist meditation has helped people to reduce stress, control anxiety and promote emotional health and self-awareness... It could help you too.

Regular meditation practice helps us to deal more easily with whatever life throws at us day by day. It also helps us to be kinder and more positive towards ourselves and others so that our lives become more harmonious. 

In this five-week course you will learn three meditations: 
Mindfulness of the Body, 
Mindfulness of Breathing 
and Loving-Kindness Meditation

There will also be a week where we look at the mental states which hinder your meditation and explore ways to deal with them.

Everyone over 18 is welcome (you don't have to be a Buddhist or wish to become one).
