Meditation Classes in Hong Kong
In a busy, fast-paced city such as Hong Kong, stress and pressure can have a large impact on our physical and mental wellness.
Meditation is a well documented and effective way to reduce stress and lessen emotional anxiety. Practicing meditation and mindfulness therapy can help us to better understand our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Our meditation centres around the approach of Open Awareness - an original technique that we have been developing for the past 10 years.
We teach a wide range of meditative practices to help quiet the mind. Our experienced facilitators offer support to:
-
Cultivate peace, acceptance, and self-love
-
Lower stress and reduce anxiety
-
Improve clarity and creativity
-
Relax the body to support grounded relaxation
-
Improve sleep
-
Enter and rest into deep meditative states
-
Enhance mindfulness and awareness of the present moment
Our meditation classes support individuals of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.
The Kriya Lightning Foundation Open Awareness Technique
Our Open Awareness technique is an original and simple meditative technique that has been refined over a period of 10 years. The practice allows us to let go of unhealthy thoughts and emotions so that we experience life from a freer and happier space. Practitioners often describe feeling lighter, calmer and more clear after using the technique, which has shown very positive results.
We offer introductions to Open Awareness both online and in-person.

If I want to enrol in a mental wellness retreat, how much will it cost?Our retreats are offered without charge. Accessibility is important to us! We believe that everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, deserves to have access to support and tools that can help them feel happier and freer. Donations are welcomed to help cover the costs of venue rental and operations for retreats. As a non-government funded organisation, we rely on the generosity of individual donations to offer retreats and classes. Donations also help to cover the costs of sponsoring scholarship applicants. Unless otherwise stated, retreat participants are responsible for organising their travel, meals, and accommodation during retreats. All classes during retreats are offered without charge.

Are these spiritual retreats religious?Our teachings are non-religious and non-dogmatic. We welcome participants from all faiths and backgrounds. We emphasise direct experience and critical thinking. While participants may have spiritual experiences, our general focus is on supporting practitioners to move into inner freedom and happiness. We come from the perspective that the innate nature of each person is consciousness. While this perspective is shared in Yoga and Advaita Vedanta (non-duality), we are not affiliated with a specific religion. For more information on our perspective, feel free to check our teachings page.
