http://www.thesammasatiproject.co.uk Facing the issues around dying and death - our own and that of our loved ones.

• If you were told that you had only a month to live, how would you spend that month?

• How comfortable would you feel around a family member or friend who is seriously ill or dying? Would you know how to support someone who is dying?

Should you talk -- could you talk? -- to your parents about the time when they will die?


Maneesha tells you about the training (now workshop series) which she and Sudheer Niet are facilitating which offers psycho-spiritual support for those supporting friends, family or others when they are seriously ill or dying. The workshops also provide structures in which you can look at your own issues around dying.


Maneesha James has been leading meditation workshops around the world for the last 20 years. They've been related to living more consciously, and more lately have been focused on exploring dying --dying consciously.


Maneesha says, "You might ask: What is a conscious death and why would I want one?" She goes on to explain that life and death are not two separate events but are a continuum. If we find in living that when we're living consciously, not just on automatic, that we have more sense of meaning and ultimately more joy in our life, then the same can apply in dying.

She continues, "Most of us don't want to even think about death because we're frightened of it. Yet I know from being with individuals who are dying that we can face our dying, even prepare for our dying in such a way that we can let go with grace, peacefully, even with gratitude...and who wouldn't want that?"

In the workshops series, Maneesha works primarily with meditation techniques. Meditation is unique in offering us an existential understanding of death -- it's a way of voluntarily moving into the experience of dying. The many different methods of meditation are also a means of addressing the various issues that come up when someone is sick or dying.

Maneesha trained as a midwife in her 20's and sees so many similarities -- both birth and death are sacred times. She is passionate about these workshops and excited to be able to offer them to anyone who would like to support someone thro dying and who would also like to look at their own issues. This workshops are designed for people who have done some personal development work and who are open to learn to meditate if they are not already familiar with meditation.

Maneesha goes into more depth in another video about the training/workshop series and the transformation it can bring to participants' lives and to the lives and deaths of those around them -    • Sammasati Training, Sudheer interviews Man...  .
