FREE FIVE-WEEK MEDITATION COURSE at UCL – starts Jan 30th

Remember those New Year Resolutions you jotted down on paper…..

Free Meditation @ UCL - Benefits of Meditation

Free Meditation @ UCL – Benefits of Meditation

……………….last year, the year before that, back in 2011 ? Time flies doesn’t it?

Maybe you will find time to pause, take stock, re-group, consider your life path, where you’ve been, where you’re going?

Yet life pushes on like a river gently making its way to the ocean, yet who notices it passing by?

What’s remarkable about the human condition is our potential. We are always faced with the option, remain as you are, or become more.

In the West we have a tendency to ‘think’  or  even ‘believe’ that thinking is the highest form of consciousness. (‘I think therefore I am! ‘ – some even say this oft quoted phrase has more recently evolved into: ‘I shop therefore I am!’)

In general in the West we recognise three states of consciousness; Wakefulness (and thinking), Dreaming and Sleeping.

Yet in other cultures research and exploration led to the discovery and realisation of a subtle 4th state of consciousness, beyond sleeping, waking or dreaming, namely a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’.

Remarkably this state is where the mental engine is ‘parked’ momentarily and ‘rested’.

Yet we remain fully aware in a state of ‘thoughtless awareness’, this of course is true meditation!

It is out of this state that the benefits of ‘meditation’ cascade into our life.

Although the original goal of Yoga and Meditation is spiritual growth, important therapeutic side effects on physical and mental health have attracted medical research across the world. The state of thoughtless awareness experienced in Sahaja Yoga has thus been shown to elicit important beneficial changes in the body and the brain and has therapeutic effects on a wide range of disease processes.

So whatever you decide for 2014 and beyond – remember you are always welcome to join us and ……. Learn to meditate?

However, it is a DIY (Do it Yourself) experience. No one can do it for you. You have to have the desire and motivation to actually give yourself a little time  and be patient with yourself.

So there it is….. from Thursday, 30-January-2014 to Thursday, 27-February you can join us for at UCL for a

At the meeting, there will be no bending and stretching type physical exercises – participants will be seated comfortably throughout (as such, a yoga mat or any other type of equipment is not required). The classes are conducted in a relaxed setting, and have a friendly atmosphere.
