My name is Sarah Presley and I am one of the co-owners of the British School of Meditation. I am also the author of the book: ‘Making Friends with Yourself: A Practical Guide on How Meditation Can Take You From Overwhelm to an Inner Calm.

I discovered meditation in the early 2000s whilst reading a book on Buddhism. I had been diagnosed with M.E. a few years before and I was on a quest to discover the answer to great health and well-being. At first, I was a little unsure as I thought you had to already be a calm and peaceful person to meditate, and I had considered myself instead to be the opposite.

My introduction to meditation was with mantra, and I picked three English words which I wanted to become – happy, healthy and strong. At first, I found it hard, but after a while I found myself looking forward to my daily practice as I became much more focused and calm.

A couple of years later, I was enjoying optimum health - I really felt happy, healthy and strong - and I so I set up a holistic business to I could support others who were going through a tough time in their lives. This has now developed into a full time training business helping to empower individuals with their personal and professional development.

Clients often asked me if I would teach them to meditate, however I was reluctant without an official qualification. The British School of Meditation fitted the bill with it’s external accreditation and face-to-face training. I enjoyed the whole experience and found the training to be both professional and supportive. The course content had all the components for supporting me to be a meditation teacher but also how to incorporate it into a business setting too, in fact I felt it helped me to set down great foundations to go out and teach straight away. After qualifying, with distinction, I have worked in schools, businesses, but most importantly within my local community running regular beginners, intermediate and advanced courses as well as providing weekly meditation videos.

In 2014 I was thrilled to be invited by the British School of Meditation to be a Meditation Teacher Trainer and ever since I have supported many people to realise their dream of becoming an externally accredited meditation teacher. It is an honour and privilege to witness students utilise what they have learnt on the course so they can bring the life changing techniques of meditation to other people’s lives

I am also a Reiki Master teacher and a Kundalini Yoga teacher. I start every morning with a practice which I call “my daily devotion”. This is incorporates breathing meditations, mantra and chanting, as well as loving-kindness - it is the perfect start to the day. In addition to this, I also ensure I bring gratitude and mindfulness into regular moments throughout the day too. For me, meditation is the perfect companion for helping me to navigate my way through the ups and downs of life.

I am very much looking forward to providing the training and support to help you to take the next steps to becoming an externally accredited Meditation Teacher.
