Meditation

When was the last time you really stopped to smell the flowers?

By quieting the chattering mind and developing loving kindness, we can really be open to experience what is going on in the present.
How much time do you spend thinking about the past or the future without actually living and breathing each precious moment now?...after all we cannot change the past nor predict the future but we can shape our present.

Meditation is now well regarded as a life skill. As we use yoga or pilates to strengthen and exercise our body, we can use meditation to strengthen and gain control of our brain and mind...after all, it too is muscle. It is a tool that can help aid concentration, sharpen the senses and inspire minds. The beauty in even the smallest thing can be appreciated after only a few meditation sessions...

During our chillout retreats, you will learn different meditation techniques and practices that can be used everyday, such as the mindfulness of breathing, the Metta Bhavana and walking meditations. Once you have learnt how to calm the mind you can meditate anywhere, in the bath, on the tube or whilst out walking. Even the most active minds needs a rest and without too much effort, so much can be achieved.
