Spheres of Awareness

Mindfulness is a practice which brings equanimity and calmness to a person's life. It is a means of reducing stress and its effects on the body and mind. In yoga terms, it is sometimes classified as Dharana or concentration of the mind on a single object. In the classical system of Yoga outlined by the sage Patanjali, Mindfulness is a necessary skill to master in order to have more success with the path of meditation.

Meditation in yoga is called Dhyana. There are so many techniques from the many traditions which can be employed to bring about a state of Meditation. This state can be described as being not separate from the object of meditation, whether it is Mantra, Breath or Being.

I have extensive experience of the Buddhist practices of Tantra, Vipassana and Chan Ding meditations and how to cultivate mindfulness through various techniques. Modalities used while sitting, standing or walking. In the 1980s I studied and practiced Transcendental Meditation and in the following decades the Tibetan Vajrayana Practices (Kagyu).

Today I offer various classes and courses using appropriate classical and traditional practices for groups and individuals.

The structures and guidelines are grouped under various programmes, collectively called Spheres of Awareness
