Meditation & mindfulness practices are a wonderful way that can develop awareness and mindfulness of our body, our senses, our minds and how we live our daily life.

Meditation practice is about pausing, simply observing yourself without judgment in all situations, watching how we respond. It is about tuning in to ourselves as opposed to "tuning out".

The benefits build quickly over time and a "little and often" is the key to reaping the rewards of a daily practice, even as little as 10 minutes a day. Just as we exercise the body to keep it strong and healthy, we also need to take care of the mind to keep it nourished!

Meditation practice has been around for over 2000 years and has been a time tested over the centuries to bring many to a place of stillness and silence that is within us all.

Meditation is about ..

- Soothing the body, bathing the mind.
- Becoming kinder to ourselves.
- Becoming aware of our senses
- Arriving into "BEing" as less "DOing"
- Becoming more reflective and less re-active!
-Transforming the way we see ourselves and the world and become the person who you were born to be!

Through our classes together discover ..

* How meditation is for everyone and some of the myths of meditation
* Explore the amazing benefits!
* Learn how to manage stress through some simple techniques you can use daily.
* Explore many types of meditation practices so you will have a choice for your meditation toolbox for life!
*Our classes will support you to develop a small daily practice yourself!

9pm - 9.15pm: These final 15 minutes of this class is dedicated to a deep relaxation to send you into your evening or day deeply rested. You will be introduced to a little sound healing and quiet time for you!
