Be Here Nowra - Meditation
Be Here Nowra is a community project documenting how meditation can improve the happiness of the individual and a whole town. Our goal is to improve the collective happiness of the town we love through meditation. Meditation is a simple, natural mental technique that helps to de-excite the mind triggering the bodies natural process of rest and rejuvenation. It helps to release the mind of ceaseless thoughts which can lead to reduction in stress and increased happiness.
Meditators receive a wealth of benefits, some are felt immediately while others grow over time. Common reports include: increased energy, better sleep, more adaptability, improved control, newfound creativity and overall improvement in happiness. Science shows that regular meditation lowers your biological age and reduces your chance of age related disease. Research suggests if you can get 1% of a population to regularly meditate, it can have a seismic effect throughout the whole community. This is known as the "super radiance effect". We believe to effect change we must raise the consciousness of the individual and the benefits will flow to the community.
There are many types of meditation, we teach Vedic Meditation which is an ancient technique originating in India and now taught all over the world. It is known as a self-transcendent technique. When you learn Vedic Meditation you are given a personalised mantra and the procedure how to use it properly.
Courses are taught by qualified Vedic Meditation Initiator Barron Hanson. Courses are run over four sessions of 60 to 90 minutes each on consecutive days.
We have mid-week and weekend courses available. We teach out of our studio location in Nowra CBD.
