We will lead you gently through the starting steps of this popular health giving Meditation technique which will empower you to continue in your own time at home, work and play.

What opportunities for further learning and progression routes does the course offer?

Meditation is at its most basic form a beginning to wellbeing and long term physical health, further practise and guidance can provide emotional healing, profound change in how you see yourself relating to the world with more advanced practice moving into spiritual awareness. This course can be used as a first step towards advanced meditation leading to further personal growth.

Meditation Workshop at the One World Festival

July 27, 2013Born of Fire Bloglearn, meditation, teach, workshopborn_admin

I have been thinking about how to structure the 90 minute workshops that I will be delivering every day at the forthcoming One World Festival for the six day program. I have decided that rather than spend to much time on one type of meditation, I will introduce people on the workshop to SIX different meditations.

www.oneworldcamp.com

This may sound like an awfully ambitious workshop, but I recognise that new-comers to meditation don’t always get on with just the one type they are introduced to. So I hope that by talking and guiding people through the basics of the six different types of meditation, they will be fired up enough to choose whichever one that suits their needs and continue one or more of these meditations in their life.

To really provide a full in depth teach-in on any meditation involves much time and effort by the student and coach, even 90 minutes on one type of meditation is not going to provide this depth and breadth of experience and knowledge that is required, so this workshop is going to be designed to show that people can achieve a quite mind in a short while, which is the greater achievement, for those who are looking for healing or a deep spiritual transformation, then please contact me for proper coaching on this subject.
