Awakening the Heart - The 4 Limitless Qualities Meditation Workshops

led by Rachael Cheang

​

This series of 4 workshops will look deeply at how we can train in the 4 limitless qualities to awaken the enlightened heart - Bodhicitta. They can be approached as a whole course or individually.

 

The first on the 14th March 2020 - Loving Kindness

This practice touches the tenderness of our heart, the experience of love and happiness, which lies within all of us. This training is about opening to both giving and receiving love to ourselves and others.

 

The second on the 6th June 2020 - Compassion

This practice opens us up to the rawness of our world, contacting our own and others’ suffering and developing the resilience and capacity necessary to embrace and hold space for it. This allows us to be fully present with ourselves and others through difficult circumstances.

 

The third on the 12th September 2020 - Joy

This practice awakens our sense of gratitude and appreciation of the world. It develops a lightness with life and a wish to share with others.

 

The fourth on the 5th December 2020 - Equanimity

This practice trains the non-judgemental mind, allowing us to move beyond prejudice into an open space. It develops our capacity to hold all mind states equally, freeing us from dualistic thinking.

 

These interactive workshops include the use of simple meditation, contemplation and visualisation techniques to explore in-depth the practices of the four immeasurables.

 

Refreshments and a simple vegetarian lunch will be provided during all workshops. Please let us know on booking if you have any specific dietary requirements.

 

Cost: £45 each (or all 4 for £160 if booked in advance)    Time: 10am - 4pm

For more info or to book, please contact Rachael on 07949248892, email rachael@deeperbeing.com.

Northampton Moment of Mass Mindfulness led by Rachael Cheang

​

This international event (MOMM) takes place in cities all over the UK. This year is the first time it is taking place in Northampton and Rachael has been asked to lead it.

​

Taking place at the Umbrella Fair Organisation at The Racecourse Pavilion this is a free public event. 

​

The meditation will be guided and no meditation experience is necessary. This event is part of a national initiative to bring the benefits of mindfulness to the masses.

An hour of community mindfulness will happen between 12 - 1pm, last entry to the event will be 11:50 am so that the group can prepare for the hours mindfulness. We are hoping for good weather, if so the session will be held in the Umbrella Fair Pavilion garden.

Moments of Mass Mindfulness(MOMM) is a meditation movement for everyone. They are raising awareness of, and co-creating in community, a model that fully embraces the true definition of health as both an Art and a Science. At the heart of it all, they are focused on building community, connection, collaboration and to enhance personal wellbeing.

Imagine if mindfulness and meditation was a regular part of daily life in society. If every person was able to slow down, and connect with their calmer, essential self and find balance, it’s likely feelings of negative self-talk and aggression would disappear. Mindfulness is a strategy for directing yourself away from these self-incriminating thoughts and limiting beliefs. It’s a meditative practice of paying attention to your body, mind, and surroundings in a non-judgmental manner.
