Introduction to Meditation and Mindfulness

“I don’t have time to meditate.”

“I tried meditating but I’m not very good at it”

“Meditation is too hard.  I can’t calm my mind”

Sound familiar?  If meditation is something you think you ought to do but don’t know where to start, come and join this workshop to demystify mindfulness and learn simple but effective techniques to incorporate into your working day.  

In this introduction you’ll learn the science of how meditation works and its benefits before experiencing a taster of guided meditation, mantra-based meditation and mindfulness.  

Benefits include reducing anxiety, normalising blood pressure, aiding sleep, concentration, focus, memory and boosting immunity, empathy and serotonin levels.  You’ll leave with techniques to use beyond the session.
