All you need to do is lock in the time and place for a weekly guided meditation.

Telling yourself to ‘just-stop-thinking‘ doesn’t work when you’re trying to meditate.

When it feels like you’re stuck with pain-loaded, anxiety driven thoughts wondering will it ever get better…

…  that you’re not doing enough to help yourself or that any decision you take might be wrong, leaving you flip flopping about like a stranded fish, not sure what to do for the best.

The long list of possibilities and potential decisions whirling round your mind means telling yourself  “Just-Stop-Thinking!” as you meditate is a waste of effort. Thoughts get even busier, more intrusive and overwhelming leaving you feeling even more drained and bogged down than ever.

So, instead of telling yourself to stop thinking (which just doesn’t work)…

…learn how to manage your thoughts and emotions using these two meditation techniques:

1) Simple, slow, mindful acupressure movements that help your body and mind relax.

When you focus on the movement of your hands and how it feels as you massage your arms, it’s easier to turn your mind away from intrusive thoughts.

Without anxieties fogging up your head, there’s now the space available for negative feelings and their associated body tensions to ease away.  This helps reduce aches and pains in all parts of the body, and allows for more restful sleep.

Using movement makes meditating easier to do and getting the calm, relaxed feelings much easier to feel .

2) Restful, rhythmical breathing.

Rhythmical breathing emphasises the ‘all-is-calm, all-is-well‘ feeling by slowing your thoughts down and putting in place an awareness that it’s OK to pause.  Its OK to stop and allow some time to gather yourself together instead of feeling all-over-the place.

The breathing focus encourages a softening of tensions in your body, so your muscles feel more loosened up making it easier for knots, cramps and twitching to go away, along with any associated pain.

Inside it feels like you have more space to breathe and to clear your mind. If its bedtime when you’re meditating it helps settle you down ready for sleep.

These meditation techniques create a reservoir of energy, patience and calmness. These are resources you can draw on when dealing hormonal teens, aging parents, or when illness in some form or another is affecting your life.

These classes are perfect if you:

Are just starting out and you’re not really sure how to make meditation work for you.

In these lessons I’ll guide in what to do and what to expect so that you’ll know you’re doing-it-right every step of the way.

Have tried meditation before, but it didn’t really work out because you couldn’t control your thoughts.

This is a problem all meditators have at times, but the simple movements and breathing rhythms used in the class give your mind something fascinating and engaging to do, so a struggle to control your thoughts doesn’t get a look in.

Are an experienced meditator, but you haven’t meditated for awhile.

You want to find your way back to the comfortable and relaxed practice you had before and you need a reminder on what to do and how to do it.

Or, you want to try something new, to see if it works better that the meditation method you’re currently using.
