Meditation develops awareness and clarity and teaches us to cultivate a still and collected mind.
Meditation is a tried and tested practice for self-development. It gives methods for positive transformation and tools for finding peace and happiness in daily life.
Mindfulness is an ancient way of living in the present and experiencing life moment by moment.
Mindfulness-based approaches to Stress Relief (MBSR) have helped millions of people overcome effects of stress and anxiety to find peace of mind in a busy world.
