What’s next? …,

For this to make maximum  impact we each have to complete our own individual practice for minimum of 20 to 30 minutes seating quietly on a comfortable chair, a place where you will not be disturbed.

NOW LETS BEGIN OUR PRACTICE ..,

How

OPTIONS

For members who find it difficult to concentrate or settle Our MIND to use:

Option 1 – Visualization technique is working with our most memorable place and to remember the thoughts of being at a peace with ourself. Now close our eyes imagine a place where there is  water flowing over, creating a waterfall or imagine looking at the waves when you were at the seaside.  Enjoy experiencing the movement,  the sound of water, the fresh smell of the air and now connect to your breath, gradually direct your mind to listen to the sound of your breath as you inhale then exhale, feeling more relaxed, in both the body and the mind.
Option 2 –  The breathing Technique : Sitting comfortably and closing our eyes. Take a few moments to “Simply BE”. Notice whatever is being experienced in the moment — sounds, physical sensations, thoughts, feelings — without trying to do anything about it.  Continue like this for a  while, allowing yourself to settle down.
Notice the small changes of the weather pattern around you, any finer sensation you feel is different, now bring the attention back to the breathe. Simply observe the breathe as it moves in and out, as the body inhales and exhales. Notice how the breathe moves in and out automatically, effortlessly. Don’t try to manipulate or force it in any way. Notice all the details of the experience of breathing — the sensing of the air moving in and out of the nose, the way the body moves as you breath.
The mind will wander away from the breathe — that’s fine, it doesn’t matter. That’s a part of the meditation! When you notice that you are no longer observing the breathe, it is the time to bring your attention back with minimum effort.
Let all of your experiences — thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations — come and go in the background of your awareness of the breathe. Notice how all of your experiences — thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, awareness of sounds and smells — come automatically and effortlessly like the breathe, continue your practice sitting comfortably enjoying every moment of stillness and emptying of your mind.
As soon as you settle down with your breathe technique feeling calm and peaceful to gradually move effortlessly toward introducing a deeper visualization technique of seeing light, glowing  from the top of the head around our heart slowly guiding  – the colour of light being Blue around the lower body down to  your toes. As you breathe in and out,  gradually  drawing your attention to see the colour changing to a warm golden-yellow light all around your body and when you are ready to start, to release this lovely healing glow, feel the sensation of the healing energy to move further away from your body, as you gift this positive energy, bringing to your mind anyone who would truly benefit from your practice..,  members of the family,  or friends.  All this should be done without any effort, just relax, and enjoy the whole experiences of stillness & calm. You will notice that the  time will go very quickly,  20 to 30 minutes will seem short.   It will soon be time to come out of your meditation session, now Breathe in LOVE .., Breathe out JOY.., Smile from your heart,  and continue sharing  your warm  healing energy.  After completing your practice sit quietly take two to three minutes, to settle your mind,  before continuing with your daily activities.
Congratulations!!!..,  you have just completed your experience as a mediator now come join us with our journey last Sunday of each month..,

HAPPY MEDITATION.

Mantra for each month to cultivate

PEACE   HARMONY   LOVE   COMPASSION

“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom”. – Buddha

 Dalai Lama

 Mentally. physically and emotionally we are the same.  We each have the potential to good and bad and to be overcome by disturbing emotions such as anger, fear, hatred, suspicion and greed. These emotions can be the cause of many problems.  On the other hand if you cultivate loving kindness, compassion and concern for others, there will be no room for anger, hatred and jealousy.

“In Prayer we ask a question.., In Meditation we receive the answer..,”
