Based on traditional Tibetan healing practices, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Kum Nye’s movement and breathing exercises restore the body’s natural rhythms and calm the mind, making it a very effective gateway, and support to meditation practice.

There will be time for reflection, meditation, listening and debate around this most important topic.

I have received some excellent testimonials from attendees of the recent Embracing Change in our Lives course held here at Lhasa Meditation Room.  A huge thank you to all who attended and added greatly to the day.

“This was an extremely well co-ordinated day outlining the practical aspects of meditation. Two very gentle voices in extremely beneficial surroundings…mountains, greenery plus sunshine today. Food was excellent and in abundance.” – Helen

“It was a really beautiful day, very well delivered by both Katie and Susan. I really benefited from the meditation sessions and the discussions that followed and especially enjoyed the “loving-kindness” session. It was an excellent day.” – Bridget

 

“This was an excellent day and proof of mindful hosts. I found the reference to all the “little deaths” most helpful.” – Carmel

“Very well organised day and I found the loving-kindness practice the most beneficial.” – Margaret

“All of the sessions were excellent; I loved every bit of it. This was very well organised and am hoping to get more of these sessions in the near future. Susan and Katie are excellent facilitators. Well done.”

Mindful Meditation: Embracing Change in our Lives
with Susan Browne & Katie O’Connell

Lhasa Meditation Room

Event Details

We all experience unwanted circumstances at some point in our lives. Through the practice of mindfulness and meditation we come to know our own mind and learn to be at ease with whatever we encounter. We can also learn to embrace change and challenges with compassion, both for ourselves and for others. When we contemplate on how everything is constantly changing we can experience a lot more ease in our lives, and can even learn to maintain a state of well-being when life becomes more difficult.  This day will introduce skilful ways of applying mindfulness and meditation in our daily lives, assisting us in developing emotional balance and resilience, and helping us to embrace these changes and challenges.

Susan Browne has over 25 years experience of meditation, contemplation and compassion practices. She has been guiding groups and individuals at Dzogchen Beara Retreat Centre in Ireland and at the Institute of Wisdom and Compassion, France for more than 20 years.  www.restyourmind.ie
