The Fundamentals of Meditation

In this series you will learn how to:
~ setup a daily meditation practice
~ develop and maintain enthusiasm for practicing
~ engage in mindfulness of breathing meditations
~ identify and develop the parts of our mind which are essential for successful meditation

Enjoy some mental space and peace… and learn to take it with you!
Meditation has become widely recognised as a simple but very effective method to calm the mind, let go of stress and give rise to an experience of inner peace and wellbeing. Especially suitable for beginners, this course will introduce meditation techniques that can be practised by anyone. Drawing on expert advice from Buddha, Kelsang Pagma will reveal methods in how to begin and then maintain an effective meditation practice.  The benefits of meditation and its power to overcome stress, be happy and stay focused will be clearly presented.

“So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind.”
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

This course includes teachings, guided meditations and Q&A. No experience necessary, everybody welcome!
