How to improve your meditation

non-residential meditation instruction

Would you like your meditation practice to go one step further? bring more life to it? increase the contribution it makes to your life? learn to explore meditation differently and more effectively?

This weekend's non-residential is for people who have already taken our meditation course at the Auckland Buddhist Centre. It is taught by people who have been meditating themselves for many years, people for whom meditation is a part of their daily life not something they do on weekends. And this weekend is for people who have a similar desire to allow their meditation practice to unfold more meaningfully in their daily life. It is for people who know that meditation offers a key to unlocking something more in their life, but who still trying to fit the right key to the right lock.

Friday and Saturday will be dedicated to the practices of the mindfulness of breathing and metta bhavana. We will offer you some new perspectives and approaches for bringing these meditation practices more alive in your life.

On Sunday, we will be introducing a new meditation practice which builds from the above two you have already learned. It moves on from our cultivation of integration and the positive emotion into reflections about the nature of our experience which help us to let go of unhelpful habits and views, and open into something richer and more meaningful. These reflections were recommended by the Buddha for everyone to do.
