Finding Peace Within - Weekend Workshop on Mindfulness Meditation in Malaysia

I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace. – Helen Keller


PEACE is forever elusive, if not short-lived. Peace is what most of us are looking for behind the facade of our pursuit for fame, wealth and happiness. And when we finally arrive at the doorstep, instead of finding peace, we are met with dissatisfaction and unfulfilment.

The question foremost in most of our minds is, where is peace? Can peace be bartered? Is peace reachable? Could peace be found within every one of us, where we are just required to recognise its presence, instead of pursuing it externally?

An ancient art of self-awareness, Mindfulness Meditation is a simple yet profoundly transformative tool in bringing one to understand his or her mind deeply, ultimately leading to self-realisation and freedom.Stripping off all modes of religious beliefs, visualisations, recitations and even concentrated states, this simple technique of inner observation enables one to recognise the corelation of cause and effect that results in the way we experience our lives. By working with cause, we open the doorway to a more purposeful life that is connected to the present moment.

The continuous practice of mindfulness creates a new way of being where we are able to manage our stress and emotions better. This simple act of being aware brings about immense mental and physical health benefits. With presence of mind, we are able to foster compassionate relationships and have better communication with others.
