Loving-kindness meditation @ the Norwich Yoga Festival

What do Patanjali, Buddhist teachings and 21st century neuroscience all have in common? They all tell us that through practice we have the power to choose what we cultivate in our minds. So, what if instead of our normal natural negative bias, we could cultivate friendliness, compassion and happiness?

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to do just that, as I introduce you to and guide you through the practice of Maitri or loving-kindness meditation.

Maitri, sometime also known as unconditional friendliness, involves placing our awareness on feelings of compassion and kindness, allowing us to reconnect to these natural qualities that we all possess. You’ll be taken step by step through this contemplative practice, as well as how to build a habit of daily Maitri and the benefits of doing so. There’ll also be time to ask any questions you may have.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner, are completely new to meditation, or somewhere in between, all are welcome to join this session and experience the clarity and serenity that arises when the qualities of the heart are cultivated.
