Testimonials from people who have taken part in the 14+ Gateway to Meditation
James : Accrington
I took the “Gateway to Meditation” class on approach to my GCSE studies; I was 14 at the time and wanted some help with worry about my GCSE success. Sometimes little things would bother me. Pamela was a good teacher and was very calm; the breathing exercises she taught helped me to keep calm too. I enjoyed the visualisation most as it helped me to focus whilst I was relaxed. This helped me also not to become distracted when I want to focus and concentrate more, so much so that I rarely worry any more. I use the meditations at home and after stressful or frustrating situations.

I have recently completed the 6 sessions of 14+ Gateway to Meditation course with Pamela Skeen of Soul 2 Sole Meditations 4 Healing. I am 15 years old and have felt a definite if not huge improvement! The Meditations used are 3 different types:
- Progressive Physical Relaxation
- Breathing Relaxations
- Guided Visualisation – with use of all 5 inner senses
I found these methods of enormous use and very effective for me.
- The physical relaxation has helped me to easily fall asleep at night.
- I found the breathing exercises have been good for helping me to concentrate better in both my English exam and football competition.
- The visualisation has helped me to follow ideas in a better manner, with creativity to produce more ideas in my studies and complete my exams in good time.
The course has helped me to relax a lot more, which is useful and has helped my creativity.
The hand-outs that accompany the course by email were easy to understand and very logical.
It is possible that at university I will continue to develop my meditation practices. I can also see the enormous potential and benefit later in life, to be able to detach myself from negative people, situations and circumstances.
