The Science of Meditation
 with Shamash Alidina
Talk and Discussion | 7pm - 9pm | Room 12 Friends Meeting House, Euston

Talk & Discussion

I first took up the practice of meditation through initiation at the School of Meditation in London in 2000, and have been practising various forms of meditation ever since. I have recently been interested in mindfulness meditation by Jon Kabat-Zinn, who has pioneered several key scientific studies on its benefits in meditation.

I have also been reading scientific papers on various other forms of meditation and their results, which I find fascinating. I shall be sharing what I have discovered about the latest scientific analyses on meditation, and there will be an opportunity to discuss your views.

The session will consist of a 1 hour presentation followed by a 20 minute guided mindfulness meditation and an opportunity to share insights with each other.

Shamash Alidina

Shamash gained a Masters in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College, and then went on to do teacher training at the Institute of Education in London.  He then got the post of Science Teacher at St. James Independent School in Twickenham, which he has held for the last 8 years. "St. James is a unique school in the UK. It encourages students to learn meditation and provides 'quiet time' in the morning and afternoons, and a moment of quiet at the beginning and end of every lesson." He has just completed a Masters in Education and have also qualified as a Life Coach. He is now looking to start a new venture to take the practice of mindfulness, and the process of coaching, to schools and colleges, both for students and teachers.
