Meditation House Rules
Our Meditation Classes provide an enjoyable forum for like-minded individuals to gather and share experiences about meditation. These 'House Rules' are simply a set of guidelines for getting the best from the group. By joining a group, you are agreeing to do your best in adhering to them:- CONFIDENTIALITY - Always respect the privacy of others
- SUPPORT - Support one another in spiritual inquiry
- NON–PERSONAL - these groups often lead to discussion and sometimes other members of the group may say things that press our buttons. We might feel criticized or judged, for example. Always remember to keep from making things ‘personal’. Instead, learn to watch the reaction in yourself!
- SELF-PRACTICE OF MEDITATION / RAJA YOGA PRINCIPLES - The value of a course such as this is that it provides us with skills we can use every day. See if you can set aside some quiet time daily to reflect on the principles of Raja yoga and bring them into your home, work and relationships.
- SELF–HONESTY - Sometimes when we look inside, we are not particularly delighted with what we find. Nevertheless, see if you can remain fearlessly honest with yourself and others – expressing for example, any hidden motives or feelings. Upending our petty self-deception will bring an end to inner conflict.
- TIME KEEPING - The evenings start on time each week and students are kindly requested to arrive 10 minutes before the session begins. Once we have started, it is not possible to let latecomers in as this will disturb your fellow students who may already be in meditation.
