The benefits of meditation are HUGE. Meditation has been scientifically proven to improve our well-being in so many ways. It has been shown to grow grey matter in the brain, which is where concentration increase and is the area of the brain involved in learning and memory, regulating emotions, sense of self, and having perspective.

This is why we wanted to start offering group guided meditation. Helping others relax and improve well-being is a big part of what we're all about.
We've already seen first hand the results that can be achieved through one guided meditation session, let alone regular meditation. Those that joined our guided meditation on our mini retreat day left us feeling so calm within and completely relaxed. We could see breathing literally change and relax, and we've had such fabulous feedback from it, some have mentioned how they've been continuing to use an exercise that worked for them whenever they have felt a little stressed. Amazing!
During the mini retreat day, we had many ask if we were going to continue and offer this as a regular thing, hence the launch of our weekly guided meditations!
Our group meditation is suitable if you have never tried meditation before, or if you regularly meditate.
Never meditated before?
You may wonder what to expect and have concerns over what will happen? You may have seen beautiful images of people meditating before - sitting peacefully under a waterfall looking almost model-like? Sitting cross legged on the floor? And so on. This isn't how your every day meditation is. Meditation is suitable for literally ANYONE and you can simply sit comfortably in a chair to meditate.
Our group sessions are very relaxed and welcoming. Everyone is in the same boat, and I can assure you that you will be made to feel comfortable and leave feeling relaxed.
We would LOVE for you to come and join us and try it out. See the benefits you can achieve.
There are limited spaces on the group meditation, so please book as soon as possible. You can either call us on 01622753183, or purchase your session easily online http://www.thereefspa.com/wellbeing/ to secure your spot.

The Reef's founder, Clare Cockell, will host the guided group meditations. Clare is often told she has a calm energy and generally a relaxed outlook to life, trying to step back and see things from a positive perspective. Clare first meditated properly about 4 years ago, testing out various practices, and was amazed at the results it gave alongside having a focus on mindset and personal development, the journey of which extends over 5 years now. More recently, she decided to take this practice further by training in guided meditation with an experienced and well respected trainer.
Clare brings this experience into her group sessions to promote calm, well-being, and relaxation in the sessions and going forwards.
