MEDITATION
Meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts
Meditation is often described as finding a quiet mind, but I don’t think that’s what it’s really about.
Our minds are busy. We think, plan, remember, worry, imagine and wonder. That’s just what minds do.
Meditation gives us the opportunity to pause and notice what’s happening, rather than always being caught up in it.
It can be a chance to slow down, come back to ourselves and become a little more familiar with our own experience.
And you don’t have to be good at it.
Your mind will wander. You might feel restless, bored, distracted or even wonder if you’re doing it right.
That’s all part of the practice.
There is nowhere you need to get to.
Sometimes it helps to have someone alongside you
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
Having someone guide you can make meditation feel less daunting, particularly if you’ve never practiced before or you’ve tried meditation and found it difficult. Here at The Mindfulness & Wellness Space I offer gentle guidance, teachings, practices and a place to explore what meditation means to you.
There is no pressure to meditate a particular way and no expectation that you arrive knowing what you’re doing.
We Start where you are.
Maybe meditation isn’t about finding peace
Maybe its about learning to be with whatever is here.
The busy mind
The difficult feelings
The good day
The difficult day
The uncertainty
The ordinary moments
Meditation gives us an opportunity to stop running from our experiences and, little by little, learn to meet ourselves with more awareness and kindness.
You don’t need to change who you are
You can simply begin to notice.
And if you’re curious about meditation and mindfulness but don’t know where to start, you can get in touch and we can explore what might work for you.
