Learn med­it­a­tion tech­niques to develop aware­ness and positivity

Meditation helps us to develop aware­ness and mind­ful­ness, and also pos­it­ive feel­ings. It helps us to get to know and change our mind. Over time med­it­a­tion can bring about a gentle but rad­ical transformation

It is not just about learn­ing tech­niques and fol­low­ing instruc­tions — it is also about under­stand­ing the ‘spirit’ of med­it­a­tion. It is best to get to know this through con­tact with an exper­i­enced teacher — someone who is in touch with that spirit.

Two med­it­a­tion practices

The two tra­di­tional Buddhist med­it­a­tions we teach are the mind­ful­ness of breath­ing to develop aware­ness, and a loving-kindness med­it­a­tion or metta bhavana, for positivity.

The same two prac­tices are also taught on Buddhism intro­duct­ory courses
