Learn to Meditate

Yes – You Can Meditate!

Buddhist meditation is not just about relaxing, but about deeply familiarising our mind with the causes of happiness.

Our courses show you how to avoid common pitfalls like sleepiness or agitation, and what topics to start focusing on. Guided meditations with the group help put it all into practice. They include mindfulness, chanting, and visualisation. You will also discover how to sit comfortably on a chair, stool or cushion, for optimal results.

Meditating in a group is more powerful; it becomes easier to concentrate, and it re-charges your own practice at home. Our regular meditation classes are relaxed and informal. They include short meditations to relax, mindfulness on the breath, and time for questions and discussion. We have both cushions and chairs to sit on.

  • “I really appreciate the chance of attending Tibetan Buddhist meditation in the LTC. I find all teachers extremely helpful and understanding. I started to admire the achievements of thousands of Buddhists who through centuries described universal values in which everybody can make sense of existence.”
    Mariusz Zielinski 2017
  • “Miffi, your hours and hours of visual meditation have been a god-send. Being able to think of and visualise a positive, whilst being treated and jabbed in hospital has really helped.”
    Benn Gregory 2011
  • “I just have to say how much I got out of the Learn to Meditate course. As someone who has never practiced meditation it has given me a starting point to begin meditating regularly at home.”
    Scott Hookway 2015
  • “I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude for everything the LTC has provided for me, and a special thanks to Miffi and Eddie, both of whom have been warm, generous and kind. I can most certainly say that since starting meditation, my emotional reactivity and unhappiness has reduced, I am more often able to catch my mental commentary, and take everything in my stride.”
    Samit Roy 2012
