HAVE you ever wanted to learn to meditate?

Achieve inner peace and happiness?

Or just find relief from the pressures of daily life?

The solution may be a lot closer than you think.

Teachers from the Brama Kumaris Raja Yoga Centre offer free meditation sessions each Saturday from 4pm to 6pm.

The sessions, held at the Mt Ommaney Library, give participants the opportunity to relax their mind and discover their inner qualities through meditation.

Brahma Kumaris sister Madhuri Ganesh has been practicing Raja Yoga meditation for more than nine years and said the sessions had been running since 2008.

Ms Ganesh said the meditation enabled people to embark on an inward journey to re-discover and use the positive qualities already within each person.

"There are a lot of problems that we all face and a lot of people find it difficult to handle them," she said.

"But through the practice of meditation, we can help ourselves become peaceful, overcome challenges and not get upset by any situation."

Madhuri said many participants had walked away feeling much stronger and happier.

She said the classes were free so everyone in the community had access to them
