Weekly Meditation Group
Thursday Evenings
7:00pm - 8:00pm
WEEKLY MEDITATION CLASS WITH JANINE CLARKE
​
Have you ever wanted to try Meditation not known how to start? So why not come and give it ago with me Janine Clarke?
​
Meditation benefits include:
​
♡ It helps with anxiety and pain
♡ Lowers your heart rate and blood pressure.
♡ Reduced stress levels.
♡ Helps to support your immune system
♡ Increases brain balance and happiness
♡ Leaves you feeling calm, grounded and centred.
​
Meditators enter a state of exceptionally deep rest while meditating. It is in fact the most restful state a human being can reach outside of sleep its self. So that meditation combines mental alertness and bodily rest.
​
Each person responds in their own way, that’s why I tell people not to expect any results in advance.
Just wait and see what the meditation will do for you.
Don’t make any effort, the only thing you have to learn to do is not to make an effort!
​
Classes at Bare Health will run on Thursday evenings commencing 28th September. Discounted rate available for a prepaid block of 4 classes - £32
Alternatively, classes can be paid for weekly £10/session.
​
For more information or to book your place please contact me Janine Clarke via the lovely team at Bare health on 01260 408413.

Seasonal Events - A Celebration of the Spring Equinox

Wednesday 26th March 2025
Bare Health, Congleton
Cost? £20 (payable on booking)
​
Join us at this point of balance, growth and change to celebrate the Spring Equinox and Ostara.
​
By following the seasons around the year, we can deepen our connection with the earth. This will be a night where, in a small group setting, we will embody the excitement of the awakening spring in full flow.
​
We will explore the equinox and the traditional celebrations associated with this time of year including Ostara and her link with the mystical hare, whilst also discovering what it means to us and how to embody the energy of this season for our own personal growth and balance.
​
The chosen seasonal herb for this month is Nettle, one of natures wondrous botanicals. We will delve into this amazing but overlooked plant that is truly one of our greatest indigenous superfoods that can help us find the warrior within during these uncertain times. The exploration of nettle will also include a guided tea tasting.
​
The evening will come to a close with a wonderful gong and drum meditation to allow us to focus our intention and energies and move forward with excitement and adventure into the spring energies.
​
No previous experience is needed, just a willingness to explore and connect with this exciting time of the year. You may wish to bring a note pad and pen and a blanket or mat for the gong meditation.

The Power of The Journal Workshop
Next Date TBC
Learn how to use journaling and 'Morning Pages' to help improve your emotional well being and how to deal with every day stressors. Learn how to help yourself through journaling and acclerate your personal growth in any area of your life.
As a life coach, I believe that we all have our own answers to our lifes' challenges and purpose and through accessing our 'higher selves' or 'unconscious minds' we bring these answers into our own consciousness for processing and healing if necessary.
During this introductory workshop you will:
-
Experience a guided relaxation session to help quieten and open your mind
-
Be given an explanation of the process of journaling and personal examples
-
Have the opportunity to practice 'flow' or 'automatic writing' during the session
-
Be shown examples of how this can move into 'inspirational writing' and how to it can open up your creative powerhouse
Introducing Journaling as a daily discipline, has the potential to transform any area of your life where you feel you need 'additional guidance' but aren't sure where to start.
Why not start with the Journal?
