PRAGMATIC MEDITATION
If you want to train in Martial Arts or Meditation Contact us -
Mind and body are an undivided whole, training tunes the body and meditation tunes the mind, provided they work together as one.
The untrained mind is like riding an unbridled horse, you can never make it go in the direction you want. Meditation is like the bridle on a horse, the rider can make sure the horse complies.
Pragmatic Meditation gives you control of your mind. A good example is just before you go to sleep, the untrained mind often floods with problem thoughts, keeping you awake. Meditation gives you the power to decide what to think, so you can create one overpowering thought, aimed at passive relaxation.
Meditation is not religion, this is group ritual that has developed over time. It springs from belief, but belief is a personal experience, from which religion has grown.
We teach meditation for what it is, thus we minimize ritual. Pragmatic Meditation is a tool with which each individual can find personal realization, through training the aspects of mind that enrich our existence and keep us stable, in an unstable environment.
REMEMBER: Each person perceives the real world (the objective world which is outside of our body) differently. For example: a bird is part of the real world, our eyes perceive it and send information to the brain. The brain processes the information and gives our mind a subjective image of what we have seen in the real world. The more we train our cognitive senses, the better we receive and respond to that information.
Our Pragmatic Meditation complements training, enhances cognition, unites mind and body, improves health as well as having many other attributes.
Whilst meditation is an integral part of martial arts training in the traditional Far East. Transition to the western world has lost that aspect. We offer this tuition as optional to all members who wish to benefit from it. It is important to train mind, body, and spirit as an undivided whole……….Namaste.
