Living in Harmony Mindfulness Meditation

WITHOUT INNER PEACE,  HOW CAN WE MAKE REAL PEACE? - The Dalai Lama

Meditation has been used throughout centuries to help people focus on the here and now. According to Eastern Philosophy, both the past and the future only  “exist” in our imagination. The “here and now” is all that really is.

Mindfulness Meditation has been used successfully around the world in the treatment of stress and anxiety.

Its principle is very simple: bring your awareness to the present moment and you will notice that you are not your thoughts. Thoughts are impermanent: they arise and they pass away if we don’t engage with them. This simple fact can make us aware of the thoughts that are beneficial, the ones that are not so beneficial and give us the space and the freedom to choose.

On the practical level Mindfulness Meditation helps to improve concentration and focus, and also improves creativity.

Learn and practice some easy Mindfulness Meditation methods to help you start meditating at home more regularly and find more peace and calm in your life.

I would like to say thanks for your teachings over the last year and a half. I have had had a few events this year that in the past would have me consumed with worry but I have used all the meditation skills you have taught me and feel that this has helped cement it into my daily life.

As I said when I first came to meditation I have tried many times over many years to keep meditation in my life so I am really grateful to have found a teacher that has helped me to do so.

Thankyou!!!!. Alyson

 

Dear Ana. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge, and for your wonderful classes.  I really did enjoy them, and will continue to practise meditation.  You are very gifted at teaching and I’m very grateful for the time I got to spend in your class. Kim

Ana, thank you so much for your teaching – I have made great strides in my approach to my life since we started 8 weeks ago, and a large part of that is because of mindfulness and my becoming aware, through your selection of readings, and your advice. Rowan

Dear Ana. Thank you for the meditation classes.  I found the classes very beneficial and always looked forward to the hour of so of stillness in a busy week. Liz
