Meditation - Online

Meditation has so many incredible health benefits, it’s changed my life, however there are a lot of misconceptions about it, so I’d like to dispel some of those here:

​

𝟭. It isn't passive: It’s active. In mediation we learn to step towards & really experience things as they are, not how our thinking mind perceives it to be.

​

𝟮. It isn't emptying your mind: If you think that meditation is emptying your mind, then you're setting yourself up for failure. In meditation we learn to observe thoughts & feelings, experiencing them & recognising that while some of them are valid, they are not facts & are temporary. This helps us to better understand thoughts, habits & ultimately ourselves.

​

𝟯. It isn't only for hippies, buddhists and people with anxety: It’s helpful & accessible for everyone. If you’re too busy or stressed, you need it! If you’re already happy, you need it, so you’re better able to manage when challenges arise.

​

𝟰. It isn't a quick fix: You wouldn’t go for one run and think you could do a marathon! Meditation practice evolves over time (which is why it’s called a practice!) & every time we meditate it’s different – because so are we!

​

𝟱. It isn't always relaxing or comfortable: In fact, it can be a challenge. Experiencing things as they are, not how you’d like them to be isn’t always comfortable – but it’s always worthwhile. Relaxation isn't the goal but can be a by-product.

You don’t need any special training, clothing or equipment or to sit in a particular posture, it's not religious or mystical, it's just you & your awareness of whatever arises.
