Meditation

Meditation is a practice that quietens the mind and relaxes the body. There are many styles and techniques but it all begins by learning how to manage our thoughts. In a practice known as 'witnessing' we learn to quieten the mind by not engaging with the mental chatter, just letting thoughts come and letting them go. A most helpful idea is to say to yourself, 'it's just another thought'. It is good to remember that not all of your thoughts are worthy of your attention. 

Meditation brings a range of physiological changes, including lower metabolic rate, normalised blood pressure, changes in brain wave patterns and lowered cholesterol levels. Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years in most cultures throughout the world. Not surprisingly, there are many different ways to practice.

A regular meditation practice changes our daily experience of life. We react differently to challenges, we become more patient, more compassionate and enjoy greater mental clarity. I specialise in the use of meditation as a healing medium for mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.

I also teach meditation and I have recorded a range of guided meditations to help your practice.
