January Meditation course: Birmingham City Centre – Sundays

Description

Do you ever find it difficult to quieten your mind, stay focused or find a moment of inner peace amidst the busyness of daily life?

Whether you’re completely new to meditation or already have some experience, this three-week challenge will help you develop the skills to meditate with greater confidence, clarity and focus.

Based on five essential skills that create a successful meditation practice, we’ll explore how to develop a positive motivation, find and hold our meditation object, overcome distractions and deepen our inner peace and good qualities through meditation.

Through three practical classes and a simple commitment to meditate for just 10 minutes each day, you’ll gradually build your skills and confidence, establish a regular meditation habit and discover how to create a more peaceful and focused mind.

You will learn:

• Develop the motivation and confidence to meditate
• Stay focused and overcome distractions
• Deepen your meditation and develop inner peace and positive qualities

This course will be great for beginners as well as those with experience.

Classes include guided meditations and advice for developing positive and peaceful habits of mind.
