Transform your day with group meditation practice.
In the ancient writings of Yoga, meditation is one of the key steps on the path to enlightenment, seeing the world clearly. In Buddhism, meditation is a key aspect of ‘awakening’ but awakening to what?
Meditation is more than mindfulness and wellbeing. It is a crucial tool in experiential understanding on how to end human suffering. Almost all our suffering is created in the mind, it’s not the thing that happens, or doesn’t happen, the sensation or whatever the object is, no it’s actually the thoughts we have about the object that perpetuate long after the object or stimulus has passed that cause the pain.
Experiencing this truth has powerful consequences for how we live our lives.
Meditation isn’t something you do, although we can set an intention to meditate. Meditation is something that arises if the conditions are right. In our practices we focus on creating those conditions in the mind-body.
- adjusting the body to be comfortable
- developing our ability to concentrate
- becoming aware of how sensations arise and dissipate in the body
- focusing on objects to help us experience sensations in the body.
Some of the benefits of regular practice
- increased ability to handle our emotions and situations
- greater sense of peace and calm
