One Day Meditation workshop exploring meditation as taught in the Tibetan Buddhist lineage. There are so many different types of meditation available today, it can be difficult to discern where to go and what to choose. One way to begin, is to seek out an authentic lineage of meditation that has been practiced and taught over centuries, yet is very applicable to our modern world. Rigpa Sydney presents meditation methods taught by Tibetan meditation masters that have proved useful, relevant and transformative for generation after generation. At Meet Your Mind, our one day meditation workshop, you will learn to watch your own mind and let it rest, to find its true spacious, open, skylike nature. This offers the potential to experience who you really are, perhaps for the very first time. Our meditation practice is not just about a fleeting feel-good moment, Meet Your Mind: Transform Your Life will introduce you to techniques for drawing on the benefits of your meditation experience that you can apply in any situation. Imagine what life would be like if; any conflict in yourself was resolved; you were free from anxiety and; most important of all, you had deep confidence in your true nature. Led by Western meditation instructors with many years of experience, youll explore key concepts about meditation, drawing from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as well as insights and findings from recent scientific research. https://sydney.rigpa.org.au/courses/one-day/
