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. 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
In this four-week course you will learn three meditations: Mindfulness of the Body, Mindfulness of Breathing and Loving-Kindness Meditation Everyone over 18 is welcome (you don't have to be a Buddhist or wish to become one).
