Founded in 1893 the school is set in large grassy grounds at the foot of the Malvern Hills. The centrally located Main building houses most of our course meeting rooms, while the accommodation buildings are on campus within walking distance. The famous Malvern Hills rise dramatically above the Severn Plain on the border of Herefordshire and Worcestershire right behind Great Malvern town, and are a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and rich history, offering woodlands, high chalk grassland hills, Bronze Age Hill Forts, the Worcestershire Beacon and Victorian follies. All this is on your doorstep, only a short walk through the town, which began as an 11^th Century Priory.

The address is: Malvern St James School, 15 Avenue Road, Great Malvern, Worcestershire WR14 3BA

What Our Participants Have to Say

Sarah Erasmus

Speech and Language Therapist, Cornwall

I was a worrier. I used to think things through for days and weeks before doing anything about it and then worry for days and weeks after doing it. Doing this course has stopped that. I don't feel the stress, the physical panic, the angst. Because of the practise I feel calm, no matter what. Even though I can't control what happens in my life, I know that I have the tools to deal with it. And I feel happy.

Agata Kik

Curator and Art writer, London

I have been practicing Sahaj Samadhi Meditation for a few months now and have been able to sustain a deep meditative state of mind, with no thoughts, for much longer intervals compared to before. I am able to retain this state throughout the day and be fully present in my daily activities, my senses are also sharper, and I am able to focus a lot easier. I feel I have more control over myself, my thoughts and my emotional state.

Alagappan Sivaraman

Consultant Spinal Surgeon, London

Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is an ancient technique of meditation that I wanted to learn, and I have now made it a part of my daily routine. It has helped me to go deeper into meditation and I have noticed its significant benefits when dealing with stressful situations. Being scientifically minded, I have checked my stress levels pre and post the practice, with significant improvement of stress markers. I would certainly recommend it to all in today’s stressful world.

The Research Behind Meditation

From the cover of Time Magazine to more than 3,000 scientific studies, the benefits of meditation are becoming clearer and clearer. Sahaj Samadhi itself has been shown in independent research to significantly reduce anxiety and depression. Here are just some of the scientifically validated benefits of meditation:

Experience deeper sleep

Fix insomnia and have deeper, more restorative sleep.

Decrease anxiety and increase happiness

Meditation increases activity in those parts of the brain responsible for happiness and other positive emotions.

Improve mental focus

Meditation has been associated with increased blood flow to the brain and increased activity in the brain region responsible for mental focus and executive function.

Promote longevity

Quieting the brain through meditation helps you live longer. Meditation slows the shortening of telomeres (the caps at the end of our chromosomes). Longer telomeres mean slower aging.
