MEDITATION
A deeply personal and very exciting journey.
at The Old School Studio, Long Melford.
at The Old School Studio, Long Melford.
More and more people are turning to meditation for stress release,
to calm the inner chatter of thoughts, find inner calm...
or seeking an answer to life, death and the universe.
Meditation can be practiced sitting on a chair or on the floor, lying down, walking or standing... no lotus position required!
Whatever your reason which has brought you to meditation, it may seem daunting at first.
But, like anything, with a bit of practice,
it can make a huge difference in the way you think and deal with life's myriad of events.
I offer seasonal, themed and mantra meditations.
and also Introduction to Meditation classes,
which are perfect for beginners or those wishing to re-ground or come back to a practice.
The meditations are designed to lead you into stillness,
leading to calm and balance in your day to day activities and commitments.
It is in this stillness where your tensions release, the whirlpools of thought slow,
and you find your own path on this potentially life changing experience.
If you can't make classes, there will be information and audio downloads of the meditations
for you to practice in your own time. These will be available from end March 2020.

"...and so I went and asked some Buddhists … about all this stuff going round and round in my head...
and they just said, "Enjoy it. Sit back and enjoy it. Watch it like a train going past.'
So that's what I do now. And that's what I recommend you do, too." Billy Connolly
