Meditation & Mindfulness

A mediation practice helps transform our lives but it can be difficult to know where to start and how to do it. I would recommend attending a local class but in the absence of that here are some useful sites which provide a number of different meditations for you to try.

Meditation Oasis: this website has lots of information about mediation but the thing I like best are all the amazing podcast mediations she has made available.  They cover a huge range of subjects and lengths so there is something for everyone.  I download them onto my i-pod which means I can carry them with me and use them whenever I feel the need.

Tara Brach: “Her teachings blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices,  mindful attention to our inner life, and a full,  compassionate engagement with our world.”

Tara makes her talks available which are not only enlightening but entertaining too,  she has a way of telling stories which is very engaging,  whilst also carrying a deep and meaningful message.  Again I download her talks and listen to them while walking and resting.  She also has many meditations which help learn about and cultivate mindfulness.
