Group Meditation no.3 – Sounds
This weekend I’ve been struggling with my meditation. I think most people who meditate have this idea of sitting in complete silence, trying not to think of anything or to let their thoughts wander from complete emptiness.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Simple Body Scan Meditation
This simple body scan meditation is great for connecting to your body, relaxing, learning to focus the mind and easing physical tensions. It usually takes around 30 minutes but you could lengthen it for a more intensive body scan. First choose a comfortable position. I prefer to do this meditation whilst lying down as it […]
