Meditation Workshop

River Bourne Health Club

The benefits of meditation are increasingly being recognized as an aid to physical and spiritual well-being.

Meditation is our personal journey to understand and explore the mysteries of our minds, discern the purpose of life, search for truth and ultimately achieve inner peace. Initially it is important to learn to build awareness and observe our thoughts rather than trying to stop the mind. We should work towards controlling our thinking and quality of our thoughts for a more positive outcome. In time and with practice we can slow our thoughts down and enter an inner space within our consciousness devoid of thought and become "silent".

There are many methods of meditation, some use objects to aid concentration such as candles, others use sounds for instance the chanting of mantras or sounding gongs and some may just concentrate on the breath. These may require us to be seated, lying down or walking.

The first step in learning to meditate is to relax both the body and the mind and to free ourselves of distractions.
