Approved training course of The Meditation Association of Australia.
Complete Meditation Therapy Training Programme
There are no words to describe this programme; it is simply life-changing.
Meditation is not only one of the most rewarding and life-changing practices to migrate from the east to the west, so too is the capacity to teach it to others. Many who immerse themselves in the world of meditation begin a journey of understanding like no other. Practice changes from a discipline to an embedded quality in daily living that nurtures one throughout life. Meditation offers the benefits of a mind shaped on the values of mindfulness, compassion, and contentment. Meditation can cultivate unshakable inner peace: teaching mediation has the compassionate capacity to offer this same ability to cultivate unshakable inner peace to others.
This course is designed to challenge and develop you personally and professionally. These will be the most intense yet valuable 24 months of your life. Not only will you walk away a qualified meditation practitioner, so too will you walk away knowing that you have been enriched through a transformative, educational, and absolute lifestyle change. This is a complete qualification, providing you with over 660 hours of meditation practice and study.
Designed to be completed over two years, this course is intended, and with your dedication, will give you the best training options for your future and your lifestyle. The BIYOME Biomedical Meditation Therapy & Allied Health programme delivers immersive “present moment awareness” education, transforming personal and collective consciousness. This training provides quality experiences that allow you to become truly mindful: in your work & livelihood; within your relationships; within your body & mind; creating a life of deep sensate experience bringing resilience, meaning, joy, compassion, and hope.
Through this course, by cultivating internal change, you will cultivate the beginnings of compassionate change within the lives of many.
