The practice is easy . . . the results are profound

Meditation is an age-old practice and lies at the heart of the Centre's teaching. The techniques taught are simple and effective and bring profound and lasting benefits. They allow people to reach within themselves and draw upon the qualities of vitality, creativity, compassion and inner peace.

Anyone can learn to meditate – the practice is effortless and easy to learn. It is a simple technique that allows mental and physical activity to settle down so that a profound state of rest is achieved while the mind remains awake and alert. During this state of restful alertness, deep-rooted stress patterns are released in a completely natural way while the mind becomes focussed and energised. There is no need for any change in faith or belief and the practice does not involve concentration or clearing the mind of thoughts. All that is required is the setting aside of fifteen minutes a day.

INTRODUCTION TO MEDITATION is taught in small groups and is designed for people who have not meditated before, or have tried different practices but feel in need of further guidance. The teaching is relaxed and interactive, and the experience is profound and transformative. Eliza Harrison is the resident meditation teacher. She has taught meditation nationally and internationally since 1973 and offers a range of practices that are designed to meet the needs of the individual and can easily be incorporated into a western lifestyle.
