Meditation
Mantra-based meditation.
Mantra Meditation
This authentic mantra-based meditation originates in a centuries-old tradition.
- Simple technique
- Two short periods a day
- Support & assistance
Regular Practice
The technique is very simple. It is given in a simple traditional ceremony and is practised for two short periods a day.
The time taken for the practice to become established varies with each individual and much depends on the regularity of the practice. As with learning a musical instrument, deepening and refining the practice is an on-going process.
Introduction to Meditation
The meditation is given in a short, traditional ceremony designed to bring the mind and heart to rest. The ceremony is non-religious and is there to ensure the precise passage of the mantra from generation to generation and to support the significance of the event.
You will be asked to bring four things to the ceremony, each one symbolic: some flowers, some pieces of fruit, a piece of white cloth and a donation of money. The donation is not a fixed amount but depends upon individual capacity. It symbolises the surrender of material things and is an expression of the value in which the meditation is held. All donations are used by the School of Meditation to make meditation available to others.
School of Meditation
The method of mantra meditation is given through the School of Meditation, with whom the School of Philosophy Guildford has a long-standing relationship. In Guildford the introduction to mantra meditation is offered at 3 points in the year. If you are interested in meditating and would like to know more, do get in touch.
Life-time Support
Once you’ve started to meditate the School of Philosophy Guildford will support you in the practice by offering one-to-one tutorials with an experienced meditator. This support will be available for as long as you wish, and is completely free of charge. Tutorials take place in person or online as the student wishes.
Registered Charity
The School of Meditation is a registered charity funded by donations, and its purpose is to make meditation readily available to anyone who wants it.
