“Cocktail of Meditations’ : Karen Skehel
Learn and experience many different meditation practices: including Mindfulness, Guided Meditation, Loving Kindness and Moving Meditation to bring you peace of mind and insight.
Karen says “I have trained in many different meditation modalities and have found that different meditations suit different purposes and different people. My favourite is both easy to do and very effective, even for those who say “they can’t meditate”. This is a life enhancing meditation which blends Body Mindfulness with the practices of love and gratitude.
This is an extraordinary powerful meditation (which if practiced regularly) clears both short and long term emotional suffering, such as stress, negativity, depression and anxiety as well as creating more “feel good” for those who are feeling OK, or better. It’s great for those who have struggled with meditation as well as for those who have included meditation in their lives. (In each class, I usually share several of my other favourite meditations too)
Karen says “Even though I have been meditating for 20 years, I felt inspired to review the benefits of meditation. There are so many documented benefits to our health and well-being; Do have a look through the list and note down which benefits you would like to receive.
Scientific, Psychological and Medical Benefits of Meditation:
- Meditation reduces stress, anxiety, depression, over thinking, OCD, and helps switching off.

Here’s a bit about me, Karen Skehel:
Over more than 14 years, I have helped thousands of clients with their “well-being” and “feel good” through a combination of individual sessions, workshops and retreats, plus many millions have watched my work on BBC1, ITV and international TV. You may have seen my long term contributions to Natural Health Magazine too (I wrote for them over a four year period.)
As a facilitator of “well-being” and “feel good”, I am unusual in that I have a broad repertoire of offerings and a wide range of skills in transformational coaching and coaching supervision, leading meditations, teaching dance meditation, and in energy work.

“Family Dance of the Heart ” (offered monthly the second Tuesday of the month) : Karen Planned for a date in 2018. Sign up as a member to find out more
Your payment for each session will include unlimited members of the same family (subject to space limitations)
Dance of the Heart is an uplifting blend of free expression dance blended with some moving meditation. As there are no steps to learn, it is ideal for everyone including those who believe “they can’t dance”, as well as those who can. It’s a great way for families to have fun together and deepen their connection. It’s also a great introduction to meditation for those for whom sitting still is not “ their thing”.
Karen has shared Dance of the Heart with adults as well as families at many festivals around the country.
Her current “Dance of the Heart” has evolved from many years of teaching and leading Dance Meditation (Biodanza) which included her teaching on BBC1’s Inside Out series where she showed 3.6 million viewers how Londoner’s can have fun without alcohol and on the BBC’s equivalent in South Korea as part of a documentary on dance to heal: the therapeutic value of dance (If you scroll down the page, you can see an extract from both of these programmes,)
Dance of the Heart includes hundreds of different exercises. The blend of exercises chosen for family Dance of the Heart are chosen especially to appeal to families.
A “Dance of the Heart” enthusiast shares what she most enjoys about it. “I love the freedom to be me, and to move without limitations. It’s so much fun: not only do I find my usual inhibitions are released, but I leave each session uplifted, energised and with my heart opened. I feel happy, relaxed and feel like I am falling in love with everyone!
Other fans talk about the following benefits:
“It is so much fun. I feel so great.”
“I feel so much more confident, more deeply connected with others and this impacts all my relationships”
“I used to judge myself and others. Now I do this less and less. Life is so much more fun”
“My health has improved so much”
“My stress levels have decreased, I feel so alive. “
“Karen gently encouraged to expand my comfort zone and I find that so much more is possible now that I do”
