How well do we cope with change?
While we may not be able to control change, we can control our responses to it.
Cultivate skills to transform challenges into positive learning experiences or liberating gifts.
Separation from the world, our busy-ness and obligations, gives a chance to review ourselves objectively.

Meditation Retreat - with Sw. Anandakumar
Take the Mystery out of Meditation
30 Jul - 1 Aug $400 Book Here
There are many practices of meditation, but in the end meditation is really about your own inner experience. And it is through developing our awareness that we come to know what that experience actually is.
So whether it's early days, or you've been practicing for some time, it really helps to have a clear understanding of some essential principles to get the most benefit from meditation. It can save a lot of misunderstanding later.
This is about how to actually go about practicing meditation, what to expect and what not to expect.
