Meditation for Health and Happiness
Starts Sept 20
Considered taking up a meditation practice or felt the need at times to simply quiet down your mind and decrease the mental chatter?
Meditation is one of the easiest ways to switch off your mind and experience a state of deep rest and relaxation. Many people feel that it is impossible to meditate because they simply can’t control their thoughts. This degree of mastery however, is not required for gaining benefits from meditation. The simplest of techniques will result in reduced mental stress and a refreshed state of mind and body.
Modern scientific research has shown that meditation practices reduce anxiety, blood pressure, cholesterol and muscular tension, improve digestion, immunity and memory, and increase positive emotions. A recent study conducted by Harvard Medical School (USA) further showed that meditation and relaxation practices over long term, changes our bodies on a genetic level and increase ‘disease-fighting cells’.
The practice of meditation is not bound to any one correct method. If you don’t know a suitable technique for yourself or find it difficult to maintain a practice, it is best to learn with an experienced teacher to help you cultivate a daily practice.
The emphasis in this 8 week course is to:
- learn how to prepare the mind using deep relaxation and breathing technique
- experience various techniques of meditation
- understand the workings of our mind, thoughts, senses and emotions
- choose a suitable technique that you can keep to, on a daily basis
TESTIMONIALS:
"I have seen Psychiatrists, Kinesiologists, Healers, Cranio-Sacral Therapists, Naturopaths, Yoga Teachers, Masseurs, but have benefited most from seeing Sindar. Her approach is simple, relaxed, practical, informative, and offers wisdom in a very healing space. I’ve gained a good appreciation and understanding of the practice of meditation, feeling amazingly peaceful, grounded and calm after the sessions. It has improved my quality of life and sense of peace." Dean, Businessman
"In June 2008, I was diagnosed with sudden onset rheumatoid arthritis. Rejecting specialist advice that medication would ease my symptoms, I put considerable faith into a complete cure via naturopathy. Some months into a strict diet combined with numerous herbal and nutritional remedies, I was becoming increasingly depressed by the absence of any noticeable improvement. At this point I met Sindar who introduced me to yoga and meditation. Within weeks, there was a quantifiable improvement to my mobility and my depression had lifted. One year since diagnosis, the markers in my blood tests are at levels far, far below those that first indicated rheumatism. My mobility has returned to normal and my positive outlook on life is greater than it has ever been." Andy, Artist
