Meditation
Meditation is an essential process to uncovering that which lies within. In fact it has been said that if you do not go within, you go without! There are many forms of meditation, many ways of addressing and practicing meditation and all lead to the basic purpose of doing such an exercise – to allow what is inherently the core of our being to come forth.
By quieting the mental chatter from the ego/mind, the real essence of who we are becomes apparent and from this, all that we wish to deliberately create can occur. Notice I said “deliberately”, for we are creating the life we experience all the time, however, some of it may be the result of unconscious creation. Meditation and its effects can help us to make more and more conscious decisions regarding what we wish to experience. We no longer need to feel victimised by life when we are making conscious decisions.
Meditation leads us to the present moment – the Here and Now. So often in our busy lives full of distractions, such as watching to much TV, running the kids to school, appointments, shopping, etc., we are thinking about the future or dwelling on the past. Too much of this takes us away from the present moment, away from the conscious decision making Now, away from a calm and peaceful mind, away from clarity and away from our real essence.

You won’t be asked to shave your head, don a saffron robe and sit in a mountain cave (although that may not be such a bad idea!), instead the meditation bale (pronounced bar-lay), set amongst the rich tropical gardens filled with birdsong and a babbling brook meandering nearby, provides a natural setting to find you’re your real Self. |

At the Centre we will lead you through guided and silent meditations, which may be sitting, standing or walking. |
