Atisha KMC holds regular classes in local towns (see below) consisting of teachings and guided meditations. We also occasionally hold taster classes in other towns – sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media for updates.
These introductory classes begin with a simple guided meditation to reduce stress, tension and distractions. This is followed by a short teaching on how to apply Buddhist principles to daily life, followed by a second meditation and an opportunity to ask questions and discuss with others.
You don’t need any previous experience to attend these classes.
Cost: £7 per class or four classes for £21. These classes are free for Monthly Members. See here for details of becoming a Monthly Member
No need to book – just come along to any class at any time in the term.
Come and feel uplifted not just by the class but also by the company.
Meditation Toolkit
June – July: a 7-week series of classes
This course is essential for everyone who wishes to understand how to be successful in their meditation.
Meditation has many benefits from simple relaxation to helping us keep a positive, peaceful outlook at all times. These results depend upon our meditation being effective.
In this 7-week course, you will learn the essential elements of meditation so you can understand how to improve your meditation every day.
There are various aspects of the mind that you will need to understand if your mind is to have the strength, power, and stability to meditate. These include:
- What to focus upon in meditation
- How to gain mindfulness
- Strengthening concentration
- Making our mind positive
Like training a weak body needs exercises, our distracted mind also needs to train in mental exercise to strengthen the qualities of mind that enable successful meditation.
