Meditation Course II
'Mindfulness-Based Stillness Meditation'This is an endorsed program as taught by
The Gawler Foundation.
This Meditation Course brings about
Profound Healing and Well-Being.
This is a Six-Session Course that will bring you to a deep understanding of Mindfulness-Based Stillness Meditation. There is a structure with MBSM. It is very grounding. Meditation creates spaceousness in our lives. There is often so much busyness and clutter in our lives. MBSM is about spaciousness creating. We need space to give us the opportunity to get to know the real 'me'.
Mindfulness brings relaxation and a relaxing of the mind.
MBSM softens the doing. It also stops the ongoing momentum of the stress response.
MBSM is a very potent and direct antidote to the low grade chronic stress state that is so very prevalent in people of this post modern age.
Recommended Reading to accompany this course is the book "Meditation An In-Depth Guide" by Ian Gawler and Paul Bedson. Cost: $35.00
