What is a Meditation Practice?
Start your week with meditation – with joining together with like-minded individuals to replenish your body, mind and spirit. Whether you are completely new to meditation or have practised meditation for years, you will learn and benefit from this practice. During the hour – long session you will develop your intention, discuss your practice of the previous week, and meditate on suggested guided topics. Participants come away with a serenity that can last for days!

Benefits for You
You can reduce your stress, anxiety or depression with the regular practice of meditation, and you can significantly reduce chronic pain–symptoms and your response to it. Meditation can also improve your creativity, attention span and memory. This type of improved mental clarity can work wonders on the job. You will find that meditation if practised regularly can improve you overall sense of harmony in your life, and boost your quality of life.
With meditation, you allow yourself an opportunity to pause in your routine, to become aware of the present moment – to feel it – and to understand and savour each moment. By meditating on a regular basis you can become a happier, more balanced person. You will become aware of and appreciate the harmony in your life.
Meditation allows you to listen carefully to your own voice, to your own heart, to your own breathing – to just be present for them and with them, without having to go anywhere or make anything better or different. Jon Kabat-Zinn
