Meditation

What is it?

Meditation is when the body and mind are still and the heart is open, we then get a perception of the true self. In everyday life, your mind is constantly processing a barrage of information, sensations, visual impressions, emotions, and thoughts. It can be overwhelming. Learning to meditate helps bring a focus to help you organise your thoughts or calm them using different tools.

Who's it for?

The beauty of meditation is that it is open to everyone. Most people start it because they feel stressed, anxious, or in need of clarity on either a physical or mental level. They feel that either something is missing, or that they need something ‘more’ when it comes to achieving a state of happiness.

Testimonials

Before starting on the course I was fairly stressed out from running my own business after years of bringing a family up as a single parent and struggling financially. I wasn’t particularly fulfilled, content and seemed to have lost some of the fun, I just felt more resigned to life. Through attending yoga classes I had talked with Janine and was feeling the benefit of the physical aspects of yoga but thought this course may be interesting and that perhaps It could help me achieve a better balance in my life. Reflecting on the last 8 weeks so far, I am delighted at some of the changes I have managed to achieve; I am clear about what MY goals are as opposed to be influenced by other people’s goals. I have set ( and achieved ) milestones to help me reach my goals I have more understanding of why I have struggled to reach my goals historically and of thought patterns that have held me back I find decision making easier as I am clear about what is important to me. I am still a definite work in progress but feel more confident, less stressed and in charge of my life. I look forward to the next 4 weeks and to taking what I have learned through life.
