‘Find Calm and Carry on’ simple meditation to stress less

andii — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:42:39 +0000

Sessions of around 30 mins. Very simple led meditation with mindfulness research informing the leading. You will find yourself much calmer and relaxed at the end. What we do in these sessions you can do for yourself once you’ve got the hang of it. Sessions differ from one another as we cycle through a handful of different meditative techniques. All welcome: content should be accessible to people of different life-stances, beliefs or spiritualities.

Welcome to our blog.

The idea is that there will be pages for events, discussions, information and all sorts of goodies related to faith, life-stances, spirituality, community and general honest-to-goodness stuff.

As you’ll see from the side-bar, we have web presences in other places. This one’s for stuff that’s less newsy, more likely to be around for a while like resources and reference documents.

We’ve gone with this site at Edublogs because they have a mission to support education and quite a flexible set of tools..
