Meditation
More and more, I am drawn to assisting people with their journey on the meditation pathway. I was fortunate enough to be kept on at VIYETT, the academy where I did my training, firstly to teach Hatha Yoga classes and then, additionally, to teach Meditation to student-teachers. This is work for which I have a deep sense of love and belonging.
After so often hearing people say they find it difficult to meditate ... "I can't keep still for long enough", "my mind wanders all over the place", "I can't relax enough to meditate", "I get bored", etc., ... I developed a Relaxation and Meditation course for beginners. There are certain techniques which an aspirant must perfect before being able to meditate effectively. The students and I could not be more happy with their progress.
Benefits of Meditation
Some of the many benefits of regular meditation practice include:
|
* calmer management of stress or anxiety
* breathing more efficiently for mind and body * thinking more clearly and effectively * changing thought patterns to decrease negativity * easier coping with grief or depression * relaxing deep down into a state of peace * sleeping better and awakening refreshed * developing focus and concentration skills * experiencing and understanding meditation * deeper awareness of life and relationships * enjoying life with serenity and happiness |

Relaxation & Meditation Classes
Classes incorporate a variety of mindful breathing practices, relaxation techniques, guided visualisations, and meditations. It is not a requirement to sit cross-legged on the floor for long periods of time.
Yoga Nidra is one of the deepest, life-changing practices of Relaxation and Meditation. The participant simply lies down comfortably and allows the words flow over and into them.
After seven years of teaching a weekly Meditation class in Hampton, I am now collecting expressions of interest for Pranayama and Meditation classes in East St Kilda or Windsor.
Private Sessions
I conduct one-on-one sessions ($90 for the hour) and private sessions for small groups or families ($100).
All Meditation sessions include Pranayama (controlled breathing) and Relaxation techniques that can be incorporated into everyday life.

From a lovely student
I copied this message (with permission) from a beautiful card I received from a student after she completed my eight-week Relaxation and Meditation course. It illustrates the general feedback.
"Jennie, it was a great surprise during Lesson 1 when I realised we weren't just going to sit in a room and simply meditate, which is what I had done over many years at different times and places. This was the the first time I was understanding the importance of technique and styles, which has opened up a whole new perspective and is something I hope to continue to explore further. Thank you for a joyous 8 weeks. My family has certainly benefited enormously!
Much love, Sally Egglestone."
