Meditation has been a stable part of my life for over forty years. It’s the basis on which everything else rests and what gives me energy and inspiration for everything that I do. During the time that I have been offering courses for Onlinevents, I have met many people who are interested in meditation and want to get into it seriously but struggle to make it part of their lives.
Workshop Details
This 4-session series of workshops aims to offer a way of doing just that. Each session is just one hour long. We’ll cover a topic of interest in establishing a regular meditation practice and then there will be time for question-and-answer sessions. Sessions will take place on different days, spaced apart by two or three weeks. This will provide maximum flexibility for participants and gives lots of time for practice in between. There’ll be suggestions for homework for those who want to get serious. If you cannot do every session that is fine. There will be recordings in the library to catch up.
These are the topics we will cover:
Session 1: Your Mind on Automatic Pilot
Session 2: Using Your Breath
Session 3: Looking at how we react
Session 4: Letting things be
Each session will be recorded and become part of the Onlinevents Library, so by the end of the course there will be a complete set of workshops to return to help stabilize your meditation.
