The gift of learning to meditate is the greatest gift you can give yourself in this life. For it is only through meditation that you can undertake the journey to discover your true nature, and so find the stability and confidence you will need to live, and die, well. Meditation is the road to enlightenment.

By training in mindfulness and calm abiding meditation, we pacify our scattered minds, defuse our powerful emotions and overcome distraction.
The first, basic practice of meditation is to allow the mind to settle into a state of ‘calm abiding’, where it will find peace and stability. It is a practice whereby we rest the mind naturally in a state of relaxed awareness, in order to allow the nature of mind to reveal itself.
The ancient method of meditation offers a powerful support for modern life—something that can be practised anywhere, by anyone, of any age or background. Moreover, there is growing scientific evidence that meditation has a positive effect on our health and wellbeing.
