What happens in a session?

We spend 15 minutes enjoying a guided meditation from the ‘Living Meditation’ series (see below). We use the same meditation Monday to Friday to help us gain familiarity and comfort with each one.

The last five minutes are spent reflecting quietly on a few words from Buddha’s teachings, chosen to be universally applicable and relevant to modern life. This ‘thought for the day’ helps to orient our mind towards a positive outlook with which we can meet the rest of our day. You can read the current week’s contemplation below.

Quote for Week beginning August 31st:

“Inner peace, or mental peace, is the source of all our happiness.”

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, ‘How to Transform Your Life’

A perfect complement to our Inner Peace Toolkit class

Our 7am sessions follow the same meditation used in that week’s Inner Peace Toolkit class.

There are six meditations in total, a new one each week, carefully structured to help beginners and experienced meditators alike build deep personal experience.

These meditations are available from Tharpa Publications, allowing them to be enjoyed in your own time too. Click on the images below to find out more.
