Meditation & relaxation classes

Meditation has been used for 1000s of years to promote inner calm. It can help to reduce tension, anxiety and stress related problems such as insomnia.

Ongoing research continues to confirm the benefits of regular meditation practices.

Meditation helps us to respond to the demands of modern life such as work and money worries and relationship problems. Problems that are worsening in the current climate.

Meditation is not just relaxation. The mind stays alert and focused during meditation. It is a method of controlling the mind by giving a point of focus and concentrating on this and nothing else.

The aim of these classes is to introduce different ways to meditate, such as guided meditations, visualizations and candle meditations. Essential oils can also be used to deepen the experience of meditation.

We will also look at relaxation techniques generally, such as hand reflexology and self-hypnosis. The classes also involve profiling a different crystal each month and using crystals to enhance your meditation practice.

ME

I will present parts of myself slowly,
if you are patient and tender.
I will open drawers that mostly stayed closed
and bring out places and people and things,
sounds and smells,
loves and frustrations, hopes and sadnesses,
bits and pieces of the decades of life
that have been grabbed off in chunks and,
found lying in my hands
they have eaten their way into my memory,
carved their way into my heart.
Altogether you and I will never see them,
they are me.

If you regard them lightly,
deny that they are important
or worse, judge them,
I will quietly, slowly, begin to wrap them up
in small pieces of velvet
like worn silver and gold jewellery,
tuck them away
in a small wooden chest of drawers
and close it, tightly.
