Meditation is method of taking you down from your surface thoughts and feelings to a deeper level of inner awareness, where peace and stillness is the natural state.
1% of our consciousness involves thoughts and feelings. The other 99% is silence. We focus on thoughts and feelings and not the silence.
There is no attempt to stop thoughts, just to start to become aware of them coming and going. Then we can start to focus on the silence.

Relaxing the body
Paying attention to your breathing as you breath in and out of your nostrils.
Focusing silently on a mantra,
mandela or candle flame
When you find your thoughts drifting back a, just refocus on the 'breath', 'mantra', 'flame' and you will start to experience silence behind the thoughts and feelings. That's the beginning of the magic . We start to distinguish between thoughts, breath and silence. This now allows for the possibility of silence as well as thoughts to be present.
We design our meditation programs to be as practical as possible focusing on what is actually happening in your daily life.
You will start to be aware of negative thoughts followed by feelings and energetic explosions of frustration and anger triggering fight or flight reaction.
You will become aware of the payoff the emotion and the cost to your freedom, happiness, success and well being.
When you learn to let go and release the energy of emotions you will discover a new freedom and choice in your life.
You will see that everything is made up of energy. As soon as you are able to let go, the energy goes back to its silent source.
We offer a simple course of instruction - three sessions of about 90 minutes on each of three consecutive days. You can practice your meditation twice a day as part of a
medative retreat at Matara.
During three sessions you are working with your mind and body practicing mindfulness paying attention to the moment, deepening your ability to be still, letting go and just being with your essence in the silence.
The first session is always one to one instruction where you practice meditation for the first time. In the three other lessons, more information is given on the basis of practice at home. By the end of the course you will have all the knowledge and experience you need to meditate on your own, twice a day at home. You will be able to release frozen energy in your daily life leading to increased freedom, success , happiness and well being. 90% of illness is emotionally based.
We follow up every week by conference calls to support you and allow meditation to become a natural part of your daily life. This also provides deeper in site into meditation
