Adult Learners Week

Last week was adult learners week in Wolverhampton with many people having the opportunity to learn new skills and gain confidence.  Mind Space offered a free meditation session in Bilston Library providing local people with the opportunity to experience for the first time being the benefits of meditation.  There was a guided meditation session and a brief talk about the way in which we can start meditating and how to meditate.

There was a cross section of the local community who came to enjoy the session.  One lady came who was 23 weeks pregnant with twins – so she meditated on for three people -meditation can help a mother tremendously through pregnancy both physically and mentally.

A few questions asked at the end of the session were:

Do you need to change the way in which you breath when engaged in the breathing meditation exercise?
No just simply follow the natural flow of breath and it will automatically slow down and become deeper aiding your experience of relaxation.

How often is its good to meditate in the day for?
Start off with 10 mins and gradually increase your capacity

When is the best time to meditate?

Ideally in the morning, a good way to start the day – although any time is good ; also before sleep is a good time to prepare the mind for sleep and to ensure a good deep sleep

Will you be holding regular classes in the local area?
Yes stay posted we are finalizing venues and dates – commencing the first or second week of June – (see links at the top of the page for venues).
