Meditation & Mindfulness
As human beings, we have the innate capacity to experience the natural
lucid presence of our own mind, however this is often obscured and we find ourselves caught in cycles of mental pain & dissatisfaction.
​
While many people now associate mindfulness with relaxation and stress relief, the origin of this practice promises something much deeper - the
complete liberation from psychological suffering.
​
While this may seem like a lofty claim, the beauty of the Buddhist teachings is that you are not required to believe it, because you are invited to discover this for yourself through working with your own mind and body.
