simply sitting
a practice to find peace in every day life
Our wellbeing is challenged by a variety of aspects of life from technology – to toxic load – to how the food we eat is processed. More and more of us are finding it hard to find the ‘off button’. A regular meditation or sitting practice can lead to an increased experience of calm and relaxation, higher levels of energy and enthusiasm for life and an increased self-confidence and self-acceptance.
Each month our sitting group meets ‘virtually’ for 7 days to quietly sit together for 30 minutes at 7am. This simple act of connecting with ourselves before connecting with others has far reaching benefits.
-
just starting
come to sit, let yourself settle, eyes softly close, initially focus on your breath, keep a subtle amount of effort to notice what's present
-
going deeper
meditation is an unfolding relationship with its ups and downs, it touches on an experience of a deep knowing, something that is beyond thought
-
an inner process
starting to crave 'the taste' of an inner world makes it easier to be still, to meditate, as you move forwards remain open and curious to your experience
