355 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill Q 4000 - Free Group Meditation355 Wickham Terrace, Spring Hill
1:00PM - 1:40PM, 2nd & 4th Sunday
The three pillars of the Theosophical Society are said to be study, meditation and service. Our meditation group provides the opportunity for meditation with other interested persons both members and non-members alike.
For some of us, meditating in a group provides that ‘something extra’ in our practice which may not be there when meditating alone. The practice does not follow any particular tradition, but is a more contemporary approach in its openness and natural simplicity around the breath, stillness, silence and awareness, and includes a short time of contemplation of a theosophical nature.
Meditative contemplation can assist in our theosophical studies in a way that is not open to the discursive mind. Many ideas in our literature require an intuitive understanding which a meditative approach can bring, which is then more a part of our being as opposed to just something we may think on, or agree with, intellectually.
