Learning to meditate creates a wonderful opportunity for you to discover more about yourself and helps you value your own need for space and clarity. Greater understanding, self awareness and peace of mind are all possible and likely through regular practise. We rarely give ouselves the chance to step away from the constant chattering of our mind. There is no right or wrong during meditation. It is your time for you! This article covers some of the main points addressed by a recent BBC programme about alternative therapies. It provides a more scientific understanding of how meditation can help with many aspects of daily life.

Having run a weekly class at The Clophill Centre in Bedfordshire, it became increasingly more evident that people have varying needs and are not always able to commit to regular evening time. This led to my decision to provide a service based on bookings in advance either for small groups or individuals. I cater for corporate clients and can specifically focus on raising awareness within business. Meditation is now proving itself as a vital technique in enlightened businesses, for decision-making and long-range planning as well as stress-reduction and developing awareness. I am available for small team workshops and one-to-one personal mentoring.

I also work with the voice. I teach chants and songs from around the world. This can be a powerful and healing experience. Unfortunately many people have become scared to use their voices but it is my intention to relax some of these fears and allow you to enjoy a new dimension to your voice in a safe and secure setting.

Joining with others in song happens rarely these days but the barriers created from past experiences soon fall away as your body, mind, heart and soul feel the benefit! For more reading, click here

I am open to the possibility of creating a meditation space during the day. This may be suitable as an alternative option for anyone interested in learning to meditate but unable to attend an evening session. I appreciate any comments on this idea.
