It’s that time of the year (eye roll). Birthdays are really not my ‘thing’ and I tend to avoid the day or too much celebrating. But I am excited this year to be able to spend some real time with family and friends .. after 84 days of isolation! and ..

I am also excited:

* to share my new Meditation for Beginners online six-week course
* and that I am offering an Early Bird Special (so you get a birthday gift)
* plus, I am a little giggly excited about the secret meditation box that I have planned and which I shall be sending out in the mail before we begin our online course (Australia only I’m afraid).

What is this course about:

This six-week course will help you learn, understand, appreciate, and begin a personal meditation practice .. and enjoy your time meditating!

The techniques we cover are considered foundational forms, including mindfulness and silent mantra which have survived and thrived for thousands of years because they work .. with scientific research now showing us that a regular meditation practice can not only help us to manage stress, but also positively influences our inner biochemistry, improve physical and mental health, provide more restful sleep and greater energy, and increases our ability to cultivate positive emotion.

Why learn to meditate?

I am sure you have heard how beneficial meditation is: we have thousands of years of practice across cultures and languages, along with almost 7,000 scientific research papers, which point to benefits including:

• helping us to self manage our health
• reduced stress
• greater calmness & ease
• building collaboration and understanding
• increased wellbeing
• magnified focus, awareness and concentration
• raised energy levels
• enhanced creativity
• increased sense of happiness and joy
• decreased depression and anxiety
• managing chronic pain
• feeling more present and connected with yourself and others
  

“Meditation is like pressing PAUSE on life .. so you can take a breath and reconnect with that stable, clear, and quiet place within, even if the world outside is in chaos. Meditation is the pause that allows you to rest and refresh -mind, body, and spirit.”

OUR SIX WEEK JOURNEY

Our online course will not be the same as taking our seat together in my cosy studio, but we will have all that we need to meditate, which really only requires an intention to be still and to start!

Each Monday evening (7pm aest) we shall meet online in my Zoom studio, and each week there will be ..

*a lesson theme for the week
*a guided practice introducing our meditation technique for the week
*an audio meditation to download and continue to practice for the week
*a Meditation eBook with written instructions and other resources to support your learning
*the option to book a private session if you have any questions or would like more support
