What is Lifeflow meditation?

Lifeflow meditation is a way of learning to relax your body and calm your mind whenever you want. This happens quite naturally when we gently focus on something, maybe a sound, a sensation in our body or something that we imagine. It gives us a moment of space and freedom from the thoughts that endlessly go through our minds, and is a way of quite quickly and deliberately relaxing our bodies.

There are other ways of relaxing whilst keeping our mind alert.
You may have felt it when:

• Going for a walk in a park or a forest, or along a beach
• After swimming, or any other exercise
• Watching a really good film, or being absorbed in a book, or listening to your favourite music
• Eating an orange
• Walking in the sunshine at the start of spring

Normally, we go in and out of this calm, relaxed state many times during the day. Meditation gets us back to this state quickly and deliberately.

Lifeflow meditation also works by shifting us from thinking to sensing. When we open up to the sounds around us, the sensations in our bodies, the light on the trees, or any other sensation, then thoughts gently move to the background. This brings us right back to the present moment, allowing all of the thoughts and worries to settle. Being in the present moment lets us open to the richness and colour of life, sensing and experiencing the world in a fuller way.

With Lifeflow meditation you can learn to:

• Develop the clarity of both mindfulness and awareness. Through mindfulness you can keep your thoughts connected with your body, and this enables you to open up your sense awareness.
• Explore your inner life, if you are interested in doing this. This is the world of your intuition.
• Find happiness, beauty and meaning and help keep your mind and emotions in a healthy state.
