DISCOVERY – MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS COURSE OUTLINE

Instruction and practices to support self-enquiry and transformation

CONTACT DANI

ONLINE COURSE | FIVE LESSON SETS | NOW OPEN

Aim of the sessions:

The course provides a basic introduction to a modern approach to meditation and mindfulness. It gives instruction in a variety of techniques aimed at generating calm, balance and restoration in the mind/body system. However, it is far more than a set of meditations. It is an induction into mindful living and is supported by introspective tools.

The course material draws from current research into the effects of proper meditation practice and traditional techniques and applies them in useful ways to help you discover your innate design – physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual and to align these aspects through observation and mindfully choosing change where dissonance is held.

Participants are encouraged to establish a minimum 15-minute daily practice in between sessions to establish the practices and techniques and to maintain a Discovery Journal throughout and beyond the course.

Course participants are connected via a private Facebook group, where questions, sharing and observations are encouraged.

…Overall, with a closed knit online support group and Dani’s shepherding, my journey has transformed from being her client living with fears to one embracing and transmuting them and now being able to help others do the same…
…Dani’s teaching is magical and wonderful and her knowledge and enthusiasm are just huge! A thoroughly enjoyable few weeks peppered with extraordinary insights and evidence of almost miraculous change arriving with increasing frequency. Love the process and the fun of sharing with such interesting people…
…The shifts that happen are not so much a change in direction, as a realignment or the actual foundations you’re standing on. An immersive & magical remembering…
Having an online (and offline) community with whom you can share, discuss and ask questions too deepens the process and makes it all less daunting and makes the experiences and journey more “normal”
…I have thoroughly enjoyed learning under Dani’s tutelage. I have always been very interested in energy healing and associated methodologies and theories. One of the things was most helpful to me was the way that Dani provides pragmatic advice, encouraged us to be scientific about the process and experiences to gain a deep understanding of what we were doing and learning…
