Ongoing mental stress and physical tension make for a profound negative impact on one's physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being.
Meditation is a wonderful path to peace - a peace that many so often long for. In an unnaturally stressful and fast moving, busy world, meditation is increasingly sought to bring a balance to our lives - balancing the inner realm of thought and feeling with the external world in which we live. It is a practice that involves turning the mind and attention inward with focus. It is not complicated to learn and requires no special equipment. It can be practiced anywhere, at any given moment, and it is not time consuming (benefits can be noticed with as little as a few minutes every day!). Anyone can learn meditation, and experience the many benefits that it brings.
"Mindfulness is one of the most thoroughly researched forms of meditation, and the results are pretty much unanimous: Mindfulness is an effective tool for reducing stress and treating anxiety, depression, and addiction. Mindfulness requires a different perspective than most of us are used to, especially when it comes to observing thoughts and emotions without judgment. If you struggle with being carried away by your emotions, this type of meditation just might change your life." ...SAMANTHA ALLEN
In time and with practice, Mindfulness can create a peace and calm which extends into your life experience.

"This was a wonderful course. Progressed really well from one session to the next. Great learnings to apply at home" Johnny - Cleveland
"Totally enjoyed the experience and it has really opened my eyes and changed my view on my clients, on my family, and of my friends. Thank you for the experience I will never forget" Trish - Cleveland
"I have meditated regularly at classes elsewhere but the Mindfulness Meditation course at the Lounge is the only place where I've felt (and had explained to me) that there is no right or wrong. It has helped me to surrender to the present moment and 'let it be'. Thank you Lisa - you've made this a wonderful experience for me" Soli - Wynnum
"The Mindfulness Meditation Course was extremely beneficial. I have been highly stressed and anxious lately and I found the course so helpful in relaxing and calming myself. Lisa is very helpful in guiding relaxation. It was well worth it!" A.H. - Birkdale
"I left each Mindfulness Meditation class feeling uplifted, rested and at peace. I felt like I was walking on air for the
next few days after meditation. I was calm and at peace with myself and with life. I started to notice my brain wasn't clouded with messy thoughts. I started to get my creativity back and with each day I have grown more positive and have come to accept myself. I will definitely continue Mindfulness Meditation from now on. Thank you Lisa for guiding me to find my spirit." Alicia - Wellington Point
"Lisa, your enthusiasm and belief in meditation is contagious!" L.Z - Ormiston
"After years of listening to guided meditations I decided to attend the Mindfulness Meditation course. It was quite dramatically different from what I had encountered from the guided meditations I was used to. After the first class I was able to go progressively deeper into a meditative state of which I can now access on my own, although I still attend the different types of classes offered at the Lounge as I feel it's really beneficial to me. The Lounge is a peaceful place and I always feel completely comfortable in this setting. All types of people attend, there is no stereotype as meditation helps us all. Lisa ensures that all feel comfortable. She really makes sure you as an individual feel comfortable, letting you know you can sit or lay however makes you comfortable, and to do things in your own time regardless of what others are doing. Lisa is gentle and kind to the core and I can't recommend the services offered at 'The Lounge' highly enough." Sian - Wellington Point
"Thank you Lisa for your help over this course. Great introduction to meditation. Your explanations throughout have made me realise it's not as hard as I originally thought. I can't wait to develop my practice further." L.T - Redland Bay
"Lisa wet my appetite for Mindfulness. I am looking forward to the next course to extend upon this. Thank you!" L.M. - Cleveland
