Meditation Lincoln

I teach mindfulness and meditation in Lincoln.

Meditation can be taught and then developed individually as a regular practice for a range of psychological and physical benefits. Whether used for stress reduction, personal growth, or spiritual exploration, meditation offers a range of benefits and can be adapted to suit individual needs and lifestyles. Regular practice can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and an improved quality of life.

What is Mindfulness Meditation?

People have been meditating for thousands of years, often as part of a spiritual practice. But in more recent years, mindfulness has become a popular way to help people manage their stress and improve their overall well-being — and a wealth of research shows it’s effective.

Psychologists have found that mindfulness meditation changes our brain and biology in positive ways, improving mental and physical health.

Meditation can be defined in many ways. But a simple way to think of it is training your attention to achieve a mental state of calm concentration. This state offers us increased ability to make wiser choices, respond rather than react and experience life with more conscious awareness. It can improve our efficiency, quality of relationships and general ability to manage our lives. I sometimes describe mindfulness as helping us to live ‘in’ our lives rather than watching our lives go by from the outside.

How Does Meditation Work?

Mindfulness is one of the most popular meditation techniques. It has two main parts: attention and acceptance.

The attention part is about tuning into your experiences to focus on what’s happening in the present moment. It typically involves directing your awareness to your breath, your thoughts, the physical sensations in your body and the feelings you are experiencing.

The acceptance part involves observing those feelings and sensations without judgment. Instead of responding or reacting to those thoughts or feelings, you aim to note them and let them go. All of this takes time and patience to learn and through my developed practise over the last 9 years and undertaking my teaching qualification I am able to support you with learning formal practices and weaving these into your life into what we call ‘informal’ practices.

Meditation Lincoln – Find What’s Right for You

We can also explore other meditation practices – we don’t have to be sat down indoors with our eyes closed. Some people prefer the idea of meditative walking or meditative movement.
