The classes are organised as short courses, usually around 3 or 4 weeks long and last just over an hour.  You can attend the whole course or simply drop in whenever you can as each class is self-contained

You don’t need to bring anything with you and don’t need any previous experience of meditations or the class subjects.  We sit on chairs for the class and meditations in a comfortable relaxed atmosphere; so all you need to do is turn up and enjoy.

We start all classes with the Liberating Prayer and a short guided breathing meditation to take ourselves away from the ordinary.  You can join in or just listen to the prayer, it’s up to you.

We’ll then have some practical Buddhist teachings followed by a guided meditation based upon them; and finish with some advice on how to put the teachings into practise in daily life

If you have any questions, please get in touch via info@heartjewel.org.uk and we’ll be delighted to help

“The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. As mentioned earlier, if our mind is peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness.”
