A Peaceful Mind and Heart Meditative Awareness
A gentle approach to silent awareness in daily life.
Each meeting includes a few minutes of guided meditation and is centered on your own questions and concerns. The aim is to bring a greater awareness into your life in a kind and caring way. From that gentle and quiet awareness, which is without judgment, blame or confusion, old patterns and barriers begin to dissolve in the light of self-understanding. The content of each session will vary, depending on your own unique life journey and the questions that concern you.
