Meditation: A Journey Into Awareness
If you feel that life is stressful, meditation will help you to be calm and act appropriately. When you are like this you don’t cause yourself or others unnecessary stress. It is your personal journey of awareness and awakening to the reality of life. And there is no right and no wrong its is simply a path to follow.
In the group we practice insight or mindfulness meditation which follows the Buddhist tradition. It is not a form of religion, it is a path designed by the Buddha to lead us to a life free from suffering. A life lived with calmness and awareness of who we truly are.
Why Meditate?
Meditation is a method of training the mind. Much of our life is conducted unconsciously, and without thought awareness or focus. We operate on automatic pilot most of the time, behaving in ways to which we have become accustomed; without much regard for the current situation, our motivation, or the outcome of our actions.
There are times when you may be totally engrossed in something you love doing, being in the “zone” and thats when you are able to feel in touch with your true reality not bringing forward anything from the past. Life is in the moment. Your mind is clear and uncluttered by a constant stream of thoughts. This is what we aim for in meditation.
Awareness Brings Insight
- Why do we behave the way we do?
- Why do we suffer?
- Can suffering end?
- Are we even aware that we are suffering?
Let Meditation Guide Your Healing Process
Meditation can offer comfort and support, particularly if you are struggling to open your energy channels. It’s often the case of allowing things to “be as they are”.
Whatever comes up is gently allowing and supporting and you will find that unknowingly, your natural healing powers will manifest and transformation will occur. Probably not in the way you expect either
