About the Course.
Dear Reader,
It is possible to reduce stress in just 30 seconds and this is one of the first things people learn when they take part in our More Than Meditation course.
Stress is the body's natural response to danger. Chronic stress however is toxic becaue it leads to a build up of chemicals which harm all body tissues.
Meditation is a natural way to restore and maintain balance in the systems of the body.
In this state of balance, health and wellbeing is enhanced on physical, mental and emotional levels.
Although the process of medication is natural, having some guidance and instruction accelerates the process of achieving a meditative state and what follows is reduced stress.
This is what a recent participant wrote in an email about the course after the 3rd session.
Dear Bill, Daniel and Kati,
My practice is going well thanks. I have managed to meditate for 12 minutes on Friday and today.
The pre meditation "warm up" exercises taught using the senses has helped me focus just so much more, and I am reading the information on the website.
I enjoyed last Thursday night. I feel being with the group is a great experience. The sense of stillness is amazing.
I seem to feel calm and not so agitated which I think is helping me cope with the pain.
Looking forward to next Thursday night.
Thanking you,
Regards.
Helen.
