“The journey will eventually lead you to the realisation that "freedom" from fear and all its symptoms begins with healing your mind through understanding of your true nature outside of its conditions”
Iva Parker-Puie
Meditation and Mindfulness For Beginners Workshop
Meditation is a unique journey to knowing and empowering your true Self
The condition of our minds and attitude affects every area of our lives, from the relationship we have with ourselves, to how we relate to others and the environment we live in. Mental health is not an option it is an essential mindset to the stability and continual growth to our well-being and our effect to everything in the world we live in. From the moment we are born we are conditioned to understand and see life in a certain way. How we perceive life in our adult years begin in childhood as well as what we have inherited from our ancestry line. This conditioning continues in our learning years in the education system and generally the influence of people in our lives in the community we live in.
Meditation is an internal journey to knowing and understanding who you truly are outside of all that human life has conditioned you to be. It is the final journey every human will make when the seeking for identity and self gratification can no longer be satisfied by the outer world. For most that time is when the mind has pushed them to the brink of constant stress, anxiety, self-sabotage, worry, fear, break down in relationships and disconnection from themselves. There are also others who have taken this journey as a continuing process of Self development and personal or spiritual growth. But the reason doesn’t matter, what matters is your desire and attitude to learn, apply with consistency and experience for yourself what millions of people have found and are enjoying in this ancient practice of Meditation.
Are you ready for that meeting?
Its not as daunting as it sounds. Every journey begins with gathering your supplies i.e. maps and learning basic facts, processes and techniques to help you take your first step on that path. This workshop is where you will gather all your supplies and learn how to use them in real practices of guided meditations from seasoned experienced facilitators who live and breath in meditation as a way of life. Preparation is essential to success and this workshop is your preparation and training ground to building a healthy mind that supports all that you want to experience and be in your life. It removes the daunting from exploring something new and with experienced and supportive guidance we help you explore and enjoy meditation in the company of like minded people.
Every person that comes to learn Meditation has arrived with some negative mental conditioning, emotional trauma, some physical ailments or discomfort and negative habits and behavior. This basic fact is reassuring as your companions during the workshop have arrived with similar symptoms and desires to heal and create a healthy mind. Group sharing and learning is powerful, it accelerates understanding as well as creating a nurturing caring space to explore your Self.
