The Lifeflow Learn to Meditate course
is offered regularly in Adelaide and provides a complete practical introduction to meditation and how to do it. We introduce a range of simple meditations: using
the breath, guided visualisation, movement and working with sound and
mantra. In every class we teach loosening and stretching exercises and
we include some light yoga exercises. We also teach you a range of short
'spot' meditations that can be used anywhere - at work, home, or anywhere
in your daily life.
The Lifeflow Summer School is a great way to start the year. You can do our whole Learn to Meditate course in just 3 weeks. If you like you can then go straight onto our Level 2 Go Deeper course in February. Enjoy some peace and quiet after the Xmas rush!
More about the Learn to Meditate course
It is a practical course, building on what you learn week by week in a
fun and informative environment. You will find the meditations simple
to learn and easy to do. Each class runs for 1¼ hours and is taught
in a jargon free manner. There are usually 10 to 15 students in each class.
No single meditation is right for everyone,
so you can try a number of different types at our courses. Meditation
can be practised by anyone, regardless of age or belief.
Meditation is usually done sitting in
a chair (so you don't have to sit cross-legged on the floor). Cushions
and meditation stools are supplied. Please wear comfortable clothing.
Up to six 7-week courses are run concurrently. If you miss your normal
class you can come to the same class at a different time in the same week.
Topics covered in the course:
What Lifeflow Meditation is
The Lifeflow Meditation technique - how to do it
The seven categories of meditation
The deepening levels of meditation & typical
experiences that arise at the deeper levels
Informal meditations
Applying Lifeflow techniques in everyday life -
awareness / emotional balance
Understanding the mind & the spiritual aspects of meditation.

All courses are led by highly qualified teachers - each teacher has at least 10 years personal meditation practice.
The course provides an ideal environment and the motivation needed to get started with meditation.
Who is it for
– prerequisites
This course is for anyone new to
meditation, or anyone with limited experience with meditation, or
anyone who is new to Lifeflow meditation.
Many people who have tried meditation at other centres or schools
have also benefited from coming to this course.
We have also found that students with significant prior experience
have found great benefit from starting with our Level 1 course. This
has been in part due to the breadth of meditations covered plus the
depth of the teachers' knowledge. We recommend all newcomers to Lifeflow
to start with this course.
Time Commitment
Seven classes, each of 1¼ hours' duration. If you can't make your normal class one week
then you can attend another class in that same week to cover the same
material.
