Meditation & Mindfulness Training

Why Mindfulness & Meditation?

Meditation and mindfulness training teaches us to become more mindful, more present, more compassionate, more aware. I realised the value of Meditation and Mindfulness Practices early in my life, and have come to know Mindfulness Meditation as an invaluable aid in assisting us to develop integrated and coherent life stories. 

The greatest benefit from meditation is insight. By training ourselves in mindfulness meditation to be present in each moment with awareness we develop a greater sense of openness of heart and clearer seeing. Through meditation we can actually see what the mind is doing moment by moment. Apart from the insight mentioned above, the process of meditation brings about tranquility and change. The continual practice of meditation causes mindfulness to grow. The growth of mindfulness brings about changes in the mind. We learn to be present in each moment with awareness. These changes manifest as tranquility, and when the mind is tranquil, it becomes clearer. Through these changes arise the basis of wisdom, compassion and clarity.

There are also numerous physical and health benefits that flow from the practice of meditation: heart rate slows down and blood pressure decrease, with deepened and slow breathing more oxygen is transported through the blood vessels, your senses awaken and sharpen, with tranquility in the mind comes sharpened focus, the immune system is strengthened. Meditative awareness reduces tension and heals the body. As I personally experienced these benefits of Meditation which are now well researched and documented, I started teaching Mindfulness Meditation in the groups I mentored, and will also teach it to my individual clients where appropriate. 

I run a Mid-Week Meditation Group that meets Wednesday evenings for an hour of guided meditations. I have extended introductory workshops in Mindfulness & Meditation into an intensive 8-Week Meditation Course, during which I teach different forms of Meditation. I am still available to teach short Introduction to Mindfulness & Meditation workshops to yoga studios or whoever requires tailor made workshops. I also offer a Meditation Retreat annually at Temenos Retreat Centre in McGregor.
