Taming the Mind

This course over three consecutive weeks looks at the application of mindfulness/awareness meditation practice.

Week one: The Untamed Mind – looks at how we operate in “autopilot” mode and how we become lost in distraction. The fundamental mindfulness/awareness meditation technique is introduced with a guided practice session.

Week two: Challenges to Meditation Practice: - examines the various ways in which the mind seeks to follow old habitual patterns. We introduce some time-honoured remedies to help us continue with our meditation practice.

Week three: The Mind at Rest: - examines the result of the continued application of mindfulness/awareness practice and the wider context of the practice in everyday life.

At the end of the course participants should have been able to establish a routine of regular meditation practice. On completion, participants may choose to become members of the University of London Meditation Group and have access to further study and practice opportunities.
