About Meditation
There are so many things out there in the market place that are called Meditation. In many cases, what is being offered is little more than auto-suggestive relaxation techniques. These techniques play an important role in providing momentary respite from our hectic lifestyles, but really provide no long-term opportunity for change. At our classes you will be taught to meditate in safe & supportive conditions by an experienced teacher who will provide you with on-going support for your newly acquired meditation practice.

Our Practices |
AWARENESS OF BREATHThis Meditation practice is the foundation practice of almost all of the contemplative traditions, of which Buddhism is but one. In time it provides the practitioner with the opportunity to develop a state of mind that is peaceful & quiet and provides a much needed sanctuary from the busyness of our everyday lives. Within the silence of the concentrated mind & with the clarity of our disciplined thought process we bring a greater sense of well-being to our lives.
AWARENESS OF KINDNESSThis Meditation practice is the perfect antidote for the underlying sense of unease that is experienced by many in the West today. Low self-esteem or a lack of self-worth not only leads to self-directed anger and destructive behaviour but also leads to anger towards others. In time this practice provides the practitioner with the opportunity to challenge and change their fixed views of themself and others, which in turn, allows for the development of positive emotional states of mind.
