Para­man­anda

A week­end of med­it­a­tion with Para­man­anda — SPECIAL OFFERS

Ground­ing, Turn­ing Towards, See­ing Through

This week­end will look at the art of med­it­a­tion as a dynamic three stage process

• Ground­ing: estab­lish­ing a sense of ground and embod­ied awareness
• Turn­ing towards: enga­ging with our moment to moment exper­i­ence with lov­ing kind­ness and a flex­ible awareness
• See­ing through: open­ing to the pos­sib­il­ity of new ways of being with ourselves based in a deeper insight into our selves

from Love After Love by Derek Walcott

The time will come
when, with ela­tion
you will greet your­self arriv­ing
at your own door, in your own mir­ror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome

Testi­mo­nial, Para­man­anda teach­ing at Lon­don Med­it­a­tion Project

Testi­mo­nial from Vidy­abhadri, Mem­ber of West­ern Buddhist Order

I can find med­it­a­tion pretty chal­len­ging! I need med­it­a­tion guid­ance that is simple, speaks to my heart, mind, groun­ded in my body and the breath, deeply mean­ing­ful, con­nect­ing and inspir­ing poetry. Too much to ask? Para­man­anda has provided this for me many times in what he says and how he is.

Please bring a veget­arian lunch to share if you wish

Any­one who has learnt the mind­ful­ness of breath­ing and the metta bhavana meditations
