What is Meditation?

Meditation is a means whereby we can work directly on ourselves in order to facilitate positive change. The benefits of meditation can be experienced quite quickly and can have life-changing effects.

We teach two traditional meditation practices known as 'The Mindfulness of Breathing' and the 'Metta-Bhavana' ('development of loving-kindness'). The Mindfulness of Breathing helps us to develop a calm, clear and focussed mind. The Metta-Bhavana offers us a way of transforming our emotions and to develop a greater positive attitude towards ourselves and others.

We offer introductory courses in meditation (see Introductory). We also have follow on classes, most of which offer a combination of meditation and Buddhism (see regulars).
