| Meditation provides a way to help you relax, become more focused, develop your relationships, understand yourself better and become wiser and more compassionate. The two meditations introduced in this course are based on those taught by the Buddha to help his followers towards Enlightenment and are the mindfulness of breathing and development of loving-kindness (metta bhavana) meditations. There are six sessions plus a meditation practice day to help you take your practice deeper. The sessions usually consist of instruction in meditation; short meditations; semi-formal presentations by the leader(s); discussion time for participants to relate the material to their own experience; and experiential workshop aspects. For the duration of the course, you are encouraged to take up a daily meditation practice of 30 minutes per day. To help with home practice, two CDs are provided containing guided meditations, and meditation diaries and handouts are given out. Meditation practice day is on Saturday 7th December 10am-4pm, please bring vegetarian food for a shared lunch. | |
