It releases it from one’s own physiology, which is where stress is stored. This liberates us, setting us free from the burdens of an over stressed system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5feb209fcab7fb1f7ae06a6e/1609604477291-UR1YEBV0TVP03PEDNV1D/IMG_2577.jpg About Meditation - “I thought I was not an obvious candidate for meditation as I believed that you needed focus and this was not one of my strengths. I had heard about various methods over the years and, although curious, I regarded peace of mind, reduced stress levels and more energy as difficult things to achieve. It also looked to me like you needed to be spiritual or you needed your own mountain top retreat to experience what it was offering. Then I learnt this simple practice in London and immediately things changed”. — Michael https://www.michaelstandish.com/consultations daily 0.75 2022-02-12 https://www.michaelstandish.com/for-meditators daily 0.75 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5feb209fcab7fb1f7ae06a6e/1613051867252-POBBGU5GCSY0JBGD96FA/Thom+and+Mike.jpg For Meditators - Exploring The Veda. My master Thom Knoles learnt his meditation practice in the 1960s from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the great Indian guru and exponent of this knowledge. Thom has been teaching Vedic knowledge for over 40 years to tens of thousands of students worldwide and has recorded many hours of teaching which we can share together in a series of magnificent courses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5feb209fcab7fb1f7ae06a6e/1612177188133-K1AID0PHI93PSAU583W7/Group+Meditation.jpg For Meditators - Group Meditations. You can have enhanced experiences and expand your understanding when you practice meditation as a group. I currently offer group meditations twice a week online. We meditate together, share our experiences, ask questions and explore this wonderful knowledge. All Vedic meditators are welcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5feb209fcab7fb1f7ae06a6e/1613052160885-5EYXA39JLV0AEORJF25J/The-Studio-and-Garden.jpg For Meditators - Retreats.

There are various ways in which you can deepen and expand your experience of meditation. Yogic exercises known as ‘Rounding’ help you to prepare the body for meditation and after a certain period of practice you can lengthen your practice under my supervision and guidance.
