I invited Mike Sarson to introduce visitors to meditation.

Mike is the founder of East-West Detox, a charity offering natural methods of detoxing for drug addicts and alcoholics. He also teaches meditation in a number of primary and secondary schools.

There are different kinds of meditation but this one is based around listening to the rhythm of one's breath and repeating a simple mantra in time with one's breathing. Thought and reason are suspended while all focus is on the mantra and breathing.
