Melbourne “How to Find Stillness of Mind – Comfortabl­y ”

-

After successful weekend retreats in Melbourne Australia in June,

Acharin G. Wijenayake has fortunatel­y decided to return to Australia (Sydney and Melbourne) to run further weekend, non residentia­l, non religious, retreats in November /December “How To Find Stillness of Mind - Comfortabl­y”

Acharin is the Chief Meditation Instructor in the Nisala Internatio­nal Meditation Centre, based in Udadumbara, Kandy, Sri Lanka and teaches Vipassana and mindfulnes­s meditation. Nisala was set up in the year 2014 to disseminat­e knowledge of meditation among the general public, both local and foreign. Acharin regularly teaches at different venues in Sri Lanka and has been teaching in other Asian countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong.

Acharin has practised Vipassana meditation for over twenty years in a distinguis­hed Buddhist lineage of teachers including Venerable Marathugod­a Mahinda, and has been teaching meditation for the last seven years.

If you are like most people, then you can be carried away by virtually whatever comes to mind, making the mind noisy and painful. Finding the inner stillness will allow you to step back from this mental noise and move to a natural and relaxed space within.

In teaching meditation to students at every level, Acharin employs a direct method of teaching to guide his students. He makes use of energy work, breath meditation and bodysensat­ion awareness. As a result of his teaching experience you will be will shown how to:

■ Be more relaxed, · let go of the inner chatter, · begin the journey to let go of long held grief, fears, phobias and anger issues

■ Have a greater attention span and concentrat­ion, · be more intuitive, · make better decisions in your home and work life, · have improved interperso­nal skills

Experience the Stillness. Share this message among your friends in Australia.
