Description

  • Want to meditate but just don't know where to begin?

  • Find it hard to sit still and meditate?

  • Sleeping poorly because of a restless over-thinking mind?

  • Can't focus on one task without the mind wandering away?

  • Stressed out?

  • Scared away from meditation by the idea of 'sitting in silence'?

These meditations will help change that!


In today's age, the mind is used to jumping from one thing to the next, or doing multiple things at the same time, whether we realise it or not. So when we come to sit, we continue to feel restless because the mind thinks it should still be doing 3 different things at once. This is known as the "Monkey Mind". So we continue to over work our minds, and eventually because there is never a break we end up feeling exhausted, stressed and even depressed.

Meditation can help with this, but it takes time and dedication. It is like re-training your mind, just like any training in your life you can't give up after 5 minutes of it not working out like you want it to. Stick with it, and slowly you will find you can sit for longer and longer with a peaceful mind. The 'Monkey' will wander off less and less, and your mind will become clearer, more focused and calm. This will benefit you in your daily life also - developing greater efficiency, concentration and clarity.


In our generation, simply sitting in meditation and trying to be in "complete stillness, both in mind and body" as many monks traditionally have been known to do, feels virtually impossible when starting out. That is why I will teach you 3 meditations that gives your mind something to focus on, something for that Monkey to look at otherwise it will get bored and go play.

These meditations will cultivate awareness of the breath and the body, and the love from your heart for all beings around the world. You will radiate with love, compassion and happiness as any ill feelings of anger or hatred will be eradicated. These meditations are thousands of years old, having being used in the Buddhist tradition since the time of the Buddha. And still they are being used today, even more so, because of their effectiveness. If you commit yourself, you will see results as  thousands of others have!
