Week 1Discover Your FoundationIn the first week, you will be welcomed into the space through a guided meditation journey for calm, relaxation and landing your intention. This provides a foundation for understanding the history, forms and theoretical underpinnings of meditation. Students will be provided explorative mindfulness activities and reflective journal prompts to integrate the skill of Grounding.Week 2Discover Your BreathWeek two explores the science of meditation in addition to the psychological and physiological changes that can take place within as a result of calming the mind. The group will explore a series of Breathing techniques to uncover their unique anchor before being guided through a specially designed meditation to integrate the skill.Week 3Discover Your MantraWeek three will allow students to develop a deeper understanding of how to manage busy thoughts. A grounded and practical approach will be provided to support greater self-compassion, self-love and awareness of the ‘monkey mind’. Each student will discover the power of traditional forms of sound meditation and chants before creating an individualised Mantra.Week 4Discover VisualisationWeek Four provides a space for students to explore two facets that comprise Sense of Sight. At the beginning of this module, with gentle guidance, students will explore the notion of the Inner Child. The playful, curious, creative aspect of our being will be uncovered as we mindfully draw and create with presence. In the latter part of the session, students will learn about the Inner Eye and inner vision, before engaging in a powerful guided journey for discovering your sense of visualisation.Week 5Discover Open AwarenessFeelings and emotions are a natural part of our human existence. The Open Awareness technique allows one to cultivate a loving awareness of emotions and to become an observer of our inner world with a sense of compassion. The founders of this technique and their theoretical underpinnings will be investigated before students are provided with the space to explore the Open Awareness technique through guided meditation.Week 6Discover Mindful MovementGentle, subtle and nourishing mindful movement can be a powerful technique to move stagnation, anxiety or stress within the physical body. This module of study will look at the history of this technique before students are guided through a soft Movement meditation to integrate and open this skill within their practice. A guide will be provided to explore Movement at home in addition to an integrative task to support you in thriving in your unique meditation practice for the future.Week 7Discover ExpansionWellbeing Arc values our student’s growth, and we believe in providing our students time to integrate taught skills.
