Mindfulness
Meditation
At New Life we offering a mix of guided and silent meditation sessions. Nosotros practice mainly in groups, although personal sessions with our meditation teacher are also possible.
One of our main goals in meditation practice is to cultivate mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of staying in the moment and allowing ourselves to be present. When we are mindful, nosotros are aware of our experience without clinging to information technology or pushing it away. Instead of trying to change things, we accept things the way they are.
Through mindfulness, we acquire to live with our emotions, thoughts, cravings and urges without getting caught upwardly in them or enslaved by them. By being more aware of our torso, thoughts, and emotions we receive signals nigh what is out of balance.
In this way, mindfulness helps us understand what lies at the root of our behaviour and has the power to transform our negative habits. We learn to detect ease and happiness in the nowadays moment and encounter the time to come as wide open up.
Yoga
"Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If information technology were e'er a fist or always stretched open, you would exist paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every minor contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as bird wings". – Rumi
Yoga is an ancient Indian field of study involving controlled breathing, prescribed body positions, and meditation, with the objective of attaining a higher state of physical and spiritual well being. At New Life you'll have the opportunity to find or deepen your yoga practice day by day, surrounded by positive energy and beauty.
The practice of yoga helps to release tension in the muscular and nervous systems, calm the mind, and increase concentration. Information technology also provides us with an effective method for dismantling compulsive behaviors and triggers, achieving self-confidence, regaining physical health, and learning concrete and mental self-command.
Noble silence
At New Life we participate in noble silence from 21.xxx in the evening until the morning meeting at 08.30, and a little later on Sundays. Practicing noble silence allows us to learn to relax in the presence of silence, and helps us to remove the masks nosotros utilise when we communicate with others. Nosotros can just be with each other, smile and make friendly eye contact.
When we learn how to be in silence with others, we find a deeper, more essential way of connecting with some other human beingness. Equally a result, we can get much closer to our experience and begin to glimpse what'due south really happening around and inside of us.
