Service Description

The greatest misunderstanding about meditation and the reason why so many people either don’t start, or give up on it and never fully develop the benefits of the practice of meditation is the misconception that you need to clear or empty your mind of all thoughts. Meditation is not about clearing the mind; it is simply about being in a relaxed state in which the mind is free of scattered thoughts or over-thinking. Meditation is form of mental exercise. And just as physical exercise increases health, helps us handle stress better and promotes longevity, meditation provides those same benefits. This 6 week course (1 hour per week) is a progressive learning experience, each week will build upon the techniques you learn in the previous class. YOU WILL LEARN: • The science behind the benefits of meditation and mindfulness. • What meditation and mindfulness is, what it isn't, how to do it and how to develop your practice. • How to be in a place of inner peace amongst the noisy confusion of life.
