The Benefits of meditation
Meditation is a proven and powerful technique that can help expand your self-awareness and reduce the stress in your system.
The PrACTICE of meditation
Meditation comes with a lot of misconceptions about how and why it is practiced. It gets placed in the ‘too hard basket’ because we (rightly) baulk at the suggestion that we need to clear the mind and stop thinking. We assume we are doing it wrong if we can’t do that. Meditation is not about stopping thoughts; it’s about changing the quality of your thoughts and removing barriers that get in the way of you living the life you want to live.
The traditional purpose of meditation is to expand awareness. This is simply because awareness is involved in every single thing we do, every single day. It is something we all share in common and it ties us all together. When we expand our awareness, enrich our experiences, reconnect to ourselves and others and enliven our zest for life.
While our surface level reasons for wanting to meditate may differ, we generally come to meditation as there’s an experience we are having that we would like to change. When we are in a state of greater self-awareness, we have the capacity to change our experience and replace it with an experience that is more aligned with our true nature.
We believe that your meditation learning experience and lifelong practice should be enjoyable and fun. Meditation doesn’t need to be dull, dry and serious; it just needs to be easy and accessible for all.
