A number of our yogis are actively practising mindfulness (or Insight or Vipassana) meditation now and many of you have expressed interest in attending group meditation sittings. This is such an excellent development! Well done yogis! You are on to a great adventure of learning more about yourself and developing your minds. From what I hear about your practice experience, you are on the right track and making progress. Keep it up. Each second of practice accumulates into a great big meaningful practice. As we learnt in school: "Tiny drops of water, tiny grains of sand, make the mightly ocean and the pleasant land"!

As requested by yogis last night, see below for the information on upcoming the one day meditation retreat organised by the good folks at Vipassana Meditation Centre. Do attend if you can and deepen your practice with this friendly bunch of people. Do make a donation for lunch and the upkeep of the centre which is a non-profit organisation. . . they work really hard!

(Note about the message below: the mindfulness meditation method that our yogis have been learning is the Mahasi Sayadaw method)

Many of you have collected the free Metta (Loving-Kindness) Meditation CD from the studio. Hope you find the guided instructions helpful. If you need more copies, you can copy the CD and pass to your friends, more copies can be found at Awareness Place bookstore on the groud floor of Bras Basah Complex.
