In our fast paced lives that are full of technology and to-do’s, it can be incredibly challenging to find the time for sitting quietly, uninterrupted, let alone to find silence within our own mind. While we may be connected in so many ways outside of ourselves, the connection to our innermost being is often shuffled to the back of the list. Now, we invite you for an opportunity to simply show up to yourself, to sit with your own nature and to find a moment of restoration through weekly Active Meditation at Samata Soul.
Active Meditations are structured meditation methods that consciously bring the practitioner from the periphery to the centre of the storm, to that place of witnessing, to that place where one can reside in awareness while all continues to exist around them. By using movement or sound, combined with our full attention, we are able to step by step bring our mindfulness to more subtle sensations, moving from the outside in, eventually becoming aware of body, breath, physical sensations, emotions, thoughts & the gaps of silence in between them. It is in this place of watchfulness that we become FREE to fully experience our present moment, to connect deeply with ourselves and to find the courage and inspiration to bring this awareness into our daily life. These methods are free of dogma and are accessible to everyone from beginners to seasoned meditation practitioners.
