Tuesday Guided Meditation

About this program

Meditation has shown itself to have many benefits, such as bringing about joy, happiness, relaxation, empathy and goodwill. Studies also show it can help reduce afflictions such as stress, anxiety and depression.

Bhante Soma will again be leading the weekly Tuesday Guided Meditation sessions from 4 Oct 2022 onwards. In the coming three months, Bhante will begin by recapping some topics covered in previous sessions, such as ānāpānasati (mindfulness of breathing) and mettā (loving-friendliness or loving-kindness) before moving on to topics not covered before.
