Meditation teacher Vanessa Graham author Hidden Path

My name is Vanessa Graham and I welcome you to my website. I teach meditation, yoga and self healing, I believe in empowering everyone to take part in their personal wellbeing and health. My practice is based on the ancients teachings which have been tried and tested.

Yoga can mean different things to different people, so how do you know what yoga is really about. It can be confusing with all the different interpretations of what yoga is, therefore it is good to gain one’s knowledge directly from the original teachings. First it was an oral tradition and later when this started to fade, it was written down in the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Patanjali Yoga Sutras, around three thousand years ago.

Those teachings are still available today and are just as relevant for those travelling on a spiritual path. I am learning sanskrit, the original language in which they were written, in order to gain my knowledge directly, enabling me to share it with others. My teacher in London is a Sanskrit scholar of over thirty years standing.

I believe in making yoga accessible to all. Yoga is the harmonising of body, mind and spirit; working on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. I include those who are suffering from severe illness to those with everyday stress and tension. You do not have to be just young, healthy and supple to do yoga. Meditation and yoga are a life coping skills that can be easily taught, even in its simplest form of using relaxation and breathing techniques. For those with health problems this can be built on to make life more rewarding.

I work with people with ME and fibromyaglia. Feedback from a sufferer "you give us all hope that we can find our innnerselves, that wonderful peace and quiet that allows us to appreciate every second we are given. Thanks for guiding me onto the right path and your continued support. Just spent the last half hour watching the birds feeding in the garden, simple thing like that made me feel happy and forget being ill."

"Really wanted to thank you for your newsletter, it arrived at a time when I was really struggling, the last few days have been very hard and I now feel uplifted, thank you so much. I had been angry that the illness was stopping me from making the most of this life, felt I was wasting this precious gift but your words made me see that I was being silly and selfish. Your words "living does not mean more material goods or holidays, it means being present in a living and breathing body" made me grateful for life. "Our true essence is that eternal space which is never affected by past memories, emotions, experiences, it remains pure", this will be a quote I hold on to through the most difficult times and one I wish to share with other ME sufferers to give them hope and help them rise above the pain, frustration and isolation. Many thanks again for guiding me back onto the path, I had felt lost. Really looking forward to the new book".

My classes and one to ones include people from all spheres of life from busy mothers to stressed business people. I tailor make my classes to what the students need using yoga, meditation, relaxation, breathing, sounding and reiki. Problems or illness can be a time for people to come to me for guidance, as it can be a good motivator to practice.

Meditation and yoga will enhance and improve anyone’s life and the only way you find about that it does is to put it into daily practice. Often it is difficult to take the first step to join a new group, never being sure of what you are letting yourself in for and I hope this website will clarify it for you, if not please email me with any questions you might have.

I teach from my centre in West Sussex (outside Brighton), on retreats/workshops in Brighton and have taught at the Patanjali Yoga Centre in Battle. As well as meditation workshops for the Brighton Fringe Festival.

I work in the area of yogic healing focusing on personal individual health concerns and using a combination of yoga/meditation/breathing/relaxation and reiki. With the regular practise of yoga and meditation, wellbeing and harmony is brought back to the body, mind and spirit.

Talks, courses and workshops are on demand and I am available to give free personal guidance over the internet for those wishing to progress on their spiritual path. I also provide a combination of meditation/yoga/reiki together with person centred art therapy and counselling, to give an all round environment for Self development. My book 'Hidden Path' provides an excellent background to the way I work.

Feedback received :"I am finding the yoga/relaxation sessions very beneficial
on many levels. I have suffered from chronic pain for a number of years. I find
the combination of gentle exercises, meditation and relaxation are helping to
reduce my pain levels and are encouraging me to practise at home. I feel
supported and more positive about taking an active role in my healing."
