The Christmas frenzy is being imposed upon us each year. Whether we choose to be taken along by it or opt out seem to be the options taken by us. However there is another way – how about remaining steady?

From this place of steadiness or stillness we will be able to make better choices, ones within our capabilities that won’t further add to our burdens and will possibly give us some rest.

Mindfulness/meditation are the new buzz words but the practice comes from very ancient traditions, that of training our minds to be still, spacious and steady.

If you think these practices would be of benefit to you, or you think you might like to try it, why not now?

On Saturday mornings at 10.30 in The Healing Rooms, East Main St., Lismore a new series of meditation sessions will begin for the next 6 Saturdays, begining this Saturday 23rd.

This is ‘drop in’ and ‘free Spirit’, meaning no fee but if you wish you can make a €5 donation which will be sent to Focus Ireland. The sessions are suitable for beginners and experienced, as meditation is a training in ‘beginning again’. For directions or more information, call Siobhan on 087-9614790.
