Feeling depleted? People with a regular meditation practice often report feeling more peaceful and less stressed. Typically, they experience reduced anxiety and blood pressure, feel less judgemental and more open and accepting of themselves and others. Meditators tend to enjoy better focus and concentration and generally experience improved physical and mental well-being.
This introductory course forms a foundation for starting, or re-starting, a practice in meditation that supports health and well-being. We will use learn simple mindfulness and meditation practices to regain contentment, whilst addressing issues such as mild anxiety, stress and emotional distress.
In a supportive, adult learning environment we will explore different meditation practices, consider the sources of stress in our lives and learn simple techniques to address them.
This course is suitable for beginners as well as those with an existing, perhaps ‘rusty’ meditation practice. It is can address day to day low mood states but may be unsuitable for those with an underlying mental health condition.

• Reduce the negative effects of stress through using the techniques I learn and daily meditation practice
• Be more mindful in daily life and in meditation
