1. Approaches to Meditation Workshop

There are a myriad of approaches to meditation and when you're learning the sheer range can be bewildering. As you become more familiar with meditation, however, it pays to explore the full range of options available.

  • What is the best approach to take with regard to thoughts?
  • Should you accept your emotions as they are or try to evoke positive ones?
  • Should you aim for sharp focus or panoramic awareness?
  • Is it possible to control the mind?
  • Should you reign your impulses in, express them, or simply observe?
  • Are you best with clear goals or are goals themselves a hindrance?

Come along to explore these and other conundrums of meditation with Matthew Young of Melbourne Meditation Centre and Arian Young of Workspace Meditation. The workshop will be most suited to students who have completed at least one meditation course and are now looking to fine tune and expand their understanding of meditation.
