Mindfulness for Busy People : On the Cushion and Off the Cushion ~ A Free Four Week Vipassana Meditation Course ~ Led by Grahame White

Please note that the first 3 sessions will be held on Thursday Nights at Corrimal Library and the 4th session, Sunday Morning Sitting, will be held at Thirroul Library. 

It is often thought that meditation needs a special time and place to be successful. On the contrary, if meditation is to help us to resolve our suffering while we function in life, then it needs to be a dynamic activity, part and parcel of our daily experience. Mindfulness helps us observe with more clarity and awareness, the movements of the mind. With an increase of awareness, you will notice that even in our busy lives, mindfulness will act like a break on the mind. This helps us to not get caught up with the fast-moving thoughts and emotive patterns we experience in daily life. Bringing the mind more peace and equanimity.

This 4 week course will be suitable for both beginners and season meditators. It will be held pver 4 weeks, 3 Thursday nights at Corrimal Library and 1 Sunday morning sitting at Thirroul Library. In it you will learn and practice Vipassana (Mindfulness) Meditation not only in a formal setting, but introducing strategies that will help bring the practice into our daily life. Various exercises and strategies will be taught to facilitate this goal.
