FAQ
Do I need to be of a specific religion to attend a lesson?
We have no particular religious affiliation and are considered religion-neutral. We only give instructions on the meditation technique.
Will there be any physical exercise involved, such as yoga?
No. The lesson focuses on meditation alone. (Unless combined with the Wing Chun lesson as agreed by the instructor and practitioner)
What do I need to bring?

How should I wear?
Comfortable clothing you would wear to a fitness session.
What should I expect from a typical lesson?
Lesson starts with a discussion of the practice, as you begin to settle into a comfortable position. You can sit on a chair, stool or on the floor, this is a personal preference. Lying down is not recommended as sleep usually follows quickly. We begin the meditation by being aware of your natural breath.
When the meditation practice has started, you listen to the voice of the instructor’s voice as it guides you through the techniques. Each practice is divided into two sections; we work with a technique and afterward just sit in the quiet the practice has created. We then move onto the next technique. Our focus with each technique is to discipline the mind to focus on one action at one time. Ending the lesson will be questions-and-answers and a short talk covering the basics of meditation, emphasizing how these can be applied to daily life.
