Phillip Island Meditation Mindfulness Dharma

Island Meditation Mindfulness Dharma (Formerly The Meditation Den and Bass Coast Buddhists) is:

1) An online resource, learning tool and meeting place, and

2) A weekly group where interested people who live locally to Phillip Island and the Bass Coast can attend a Dharma group in person.

The group is open to any individual who is interested in spiritual and therapeutic discussion, developing insight, learning or, deepening meditation practice, learning and practicing mindfulness. It is primarily aimed at facilitating the reduction of suffering, creating internal harmony, developing mind discipline and achieving balance in our daily lives. There is a Buddhist philosophy or, Dharma theme to the group but it is primarily non-sectarian.

About meditation and mindfulness...

Meditation and or/mindfulness is a practice and it is surprisingly easy when we let go of our preconceptions. Just sitting and observing the meanderings of ones mind whether it be obsessed with worrisome thoughts or, in quiet contemplation, is essentially, meditation. The more we practice, the more we enlist our 'observer', the more we notice , for example, repeated habits and, the more skilled we become. The more skilled we become, the more insight we develop. The more insight that we develop, the more we can learn to discipline our busy minds and reduce our suffering. The more we tame our minds and reduce our suffering, the more balanced and harmonious our lives become. The more balanced we are, the more we can respond to life rather than react. The more mindful we become, the more we notice unnecessary habits and ways of being. The more we notice, the more we can correct. The more we share with others, the greater our understanding.

And so it goes...

The group is facilitated by Ajanta who has many years experience as a meditator in the Insight (Theravadan tradition), as a mindfulness practitioner, as a follower of Buddhist philosophy and as a therapist.

Beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome to attend the weekly group sittings. A variety of meditation methods are practiced by the group and different therapeutic tools are introduced. We sometimes chant (which quietens the mind and awakens spiritual energy) and specific texts, readings and poetry are often shared by Ajanta. Helpful tools from other spiritualites and modalities are also shared including Yoga Nidra which, is a form of total and revitalising body relaxation. If you are interested in coming to the group, please contact Ajanta by private message.

Otherwise, please enjoy the articles and resources shared and feel free to comment.

Weekly in person groups run for two hours and include approximately one hour of a dharma (educational) talk plus discussion and up to one hour of short or long meditations.
