My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all. - Stephen Hawking
"The great thing about meditation is that you
are the teacher as well as the student"
Its true, meditation's best teacher is yourself. This is a blessing for those wanting to learn to meditate online, but it
also creates a problem for every meditation student. It
means that it is sometimes difficult to get an answer to a question you may
have. This is where the online community can be of help, sharing
experiences, and it is also a good idea to find meditators living in your
area to join in a group meditation.
In the end, what naturally develops from practising daily meditation is the skill of listening, trusting and developing
faith and love in oneself. This is the beginning of a true spirituality.
The meditation society is non-denominational - we are a group encompassing
all faiths, who exist to help you learn to meditate. We hope you use our
resources to discover your own path.
Our free online course features a step-by-step guide for people learning
to meditate, complete with guided meditation exercises with meditation
music that you can download and play.
Each free class includes a discussion on a particular spiritual topic and a
guided meditation exercise. For members (membership is free) the
discussion and exercise are also provided as free radio quality audio mp3 downloads - just click on the link within the
classes. For a $10 join-up fee Premium Members
receive these guided meditations in CD quality.
The classes including guided meditations are also available asaudio podcasts in the "Learn to
Meditate" series. Each guided meditation exercise is also available in our
"Guided Meditations" video podcasts.
The guided meditation techniques we will
tackle include mantra, music, breath, walking, and creative visualisation and scene-based exercises. We hope you enjoy them.
Each class is set up for one
week, structured for you to meditate and work upon the ideas brought up in the class in your daily meditation.
But you can access them all at once if you are on the move and in a hurry to
download to your ipod etc. Once
you have signed up, click on the links on the left to navigate through the
classes. You will be asked to log in with your email address to gain access to
the downloads.
Also, check out our
online forum to meet fellow meditators around
the world, and create and discuss various topics.
We're sure you'll find the
discipline of meditating rewarding and inspirational.
There are many gifts that meditation offers including the obvious physical
benefits of stress reduction, better sleep and improved health, but most that
begin this process seeking self-help find that the real strength of meditation
is the greater self awareness or inner understanding we develop. Our journey of
self-discovery begins with the sacred art of meditation. It is unmistakeably the
most powerful process humanity has ever encountered to commune with one's heart.
So please have a look around and see if we can help you to learn to meditate.
