Description

Of everything studied in the field of health and wellbeing over the last 30 years, nothing has shown more promise than the simple art of mindful meditation.  It's quite amazing really.  By doing virtually nothing, so much is achieved! 
 
Meditation is the art of simply bringing your mind home for short moments, repeated many times. 
 
That's it. 
 
In learning and more importantly practicing this artform your brain changes, your physiology changes and your awareness shifts.  You open into an entirely different side of your being.  
 
This is the source of great healing, great compassion, great wisdom and great love.  Meditation changes everything.    
 
Meditation should be relaxed and wonderfully enjoyable.  It's about learning to be with yourself in an easy going way.  You make peace with yourself.  You become your own best friend. 
 
Michael Daly of Being Yoga presents a 4 day meditation retreat at the beautiful Chenrezig Buddhist Institute on the Sunshine Coast hinterland.  Michael has been a dedicated meditation practitioner and teacher for nearly 20 years.  He has studied under numerous teachers in the yogic and buddhist tradition around the world as well as being a student of Ken Wilber's modern integral movement. 
 
He has a deep knowledge of psychology, kinesiology and brain science along with esoteric teachings and ancient traditions.  His teachings are designed to honour the vast legacy of meditation teachings whilst also recognising the need to adapt them to modern times.
