1. Why the course?

If you would like to live in a more relaxed way, and deal with problems more easily... If you feel that your mind is too busy, with too many thoughts, or you can't quite relax or feel at ease when you would like to... this is what we are all about. Anyone can do this as we start from absolute zero and build everything up in a simple and straightforward way.

​

2. What is it?

Very simply it is approaching relaxation as a gentle exercise. We train in and cultivate relaxation and calmness of mind in a systematic way. We start at 15 minutes a day and build to 30. The key to this is approach and understanding – both of these are woven into the structure of the course, which is a distinctive combination of relaxation and breathing principles along with calmness meditation.

​

3. How does it work?

We start by learning how to relax, release tension and create space in the mind by working with the breath in very simple ways. Then we learn how to allow the mind itself to relax and settle by working with the principles of calmness meditation. (Working with the mind in order to cultivate real calmness is so much easier if we first know how to relax.) So, our approach emphasises relaxation pure and simple. You could look at it as progressively deepening layers of relaxation.

​

4. Can I ask questions during the course?

Yes. We have weekly (optional) group practice and Q&A sessions at 7pm Wednesdays UK time. These meetings are not essential as everything is included in the course, but it can be very helpful to come along and relax as a group even if it is online.

 

5. Why the six weeks and what if I miss a day?

The six weeks here are designed to get us to the point where we can sit effectively for 30 minutes so that real relaxation and ease can arise. If you miss a day don't worry, but consistency is a fundamental key to all this. It is like any exercise or training, a gradual and systematic approach brings the best results.
