✨ Huge thanks to Jimmy Wightman ✨
Four evenings. One mantra. Plenty of science and philosophy… and a new meditation practice I actually look forward to each day!
Last week I completed ‘Deep Calm’ with Jimmy from Delve Deep and it was a genuinely brilliant short course. Across four evenings, myself and some friends from my yoga teacher training explored transcendental meditation, working with a mantra in a way that felt powerful yet effortless. No wrestling with thoughts, just a soft, steady descent beneath the surface chatter.
We also explored the Vedic belief system that underpins the practice, the fascinating science of meditation and nervous system regulation, the philosophy of nondualism and what indeed enlightenment is! Ancient wisdom backed by modern research, all pointing toward the same quiet truth.
I really loved the sense of simplicity. The practice isn’t about controlling the mind. It’s about allowing it to settle without any pressure on what comes up.
The benefits of regular meditation are profound and proven... it reduces stress in the body, improves focus, improves sleep, regulates the nervous system, and even positively impacts blood pressure, immune function and the aging of your cells! On a deeper level, it cultivates resilience and a just greater sense of ease and joy.
If meditation has ever felt like hard work, or you’ve thought “I’m not very good at this”, I’d really recommend exploring Jimmy’s work. It’s very accessible, grounded and transformative.
🧘🏽 Have a look at what he’s offering at 🙏🏼
(I didn’t attempt to take a photo of me pretending to meditate in my lounge, so here I am in the water, which is the other place that has a strongly meditative effect on me! 💦)
