Meditation
Meditation is simply a state of deep relaxation, a technique which focuses the mind, quitens the chatter in our heads and enhances our awareness.

Most of us don’t breathe naturally. In natural breathing the solar plexus expands on the inhale and contracts on the exhale. Most people actually do the opposite, which then increases – rather than releases – emotional tension…………….Yes it really is that simple!
Some people are intimidated by the idea of meditation, and think that it is something they need to ‘study’ for years to be any ‘good’ at it. They may think that they have to change their whole lifestyle in order to be successful. Finally, and the key issue for many – they feel that they will never be able to silence the continual chatter which goes on in their minds!
If you have any of the above beliefs regarding meditation then let me reassure you that while years of meditating will certainly develop your ability, it does NOT take years to learn basic and simple meditation. After all it is, quite simply, a state of deep relaxation. You certainly don’t need to change your lifestyle, although you will find that you will see gradual changes – good ones such as reduced stress, better health etc.
Meditation Classes
I facilitate a Meditation group on a Wednesday evening at 7pm, of around 1hr duration. This will enable you to learn some techniques to quieten your mind and enhance your awareness. This consists of a guided visualisation which will leave you feeling completely relaxed, followed by 20 minutes of silent meditation. Cost is just £5 per week. This is a small group with maximum of 7 people so if you would like to come along please contact me to reserve your place. This meditation takes place every Wednesday evening at 7pm.
