Description
Meditation is a skill we need to learn putting a little bit of effort into it at first. Once we master it, it places us in the state of total awareness and acceptance, transforming any stressful situation to our advantage.As someone famously has said, 'it gives an extra second or two' to react in a very effective way. An ancient text written thousands of years ago renders this in the following way, 'speaking and acting with clear heart, he is followed by happiness as if by his never-departing shadow'.Meditation is also a method of healing our body and mind. This very short meditation course shows how wellbeing can always be available to us even in the midst of very busy life. One of very effective techniques is mental noting, independently taught by two meditation masters.In this short course, each lesson is just a few minutes long, although you will need to spend at least 10 minutes everyday day developing your meditation skills.We are going to start with simple exercises which I have introduced to make this journey more complete. After completing them, we can dive straight into practice.You will also learn why meditation may sometimes not work, and how adapt your daily practice to to make it effective in these circumstances.
