CENTRED STUDIES
LEARNING AND MENTAL WELLBEING GO HAND-IN-HAND
Personalised programs tailored to Primary, Middle and Senior school students teach students practical processes that will assist them with reducing fatigue, improving sleep, overall wellbeing, managing emotions, reducing anxiety and stress, increasing concentration and improving classroom behaviour.
Centred Meditation teaches students the skills to manage those anxious and overwhelming feelings that they will experience during exam time as well as slow the internal chatter and focus their minds on the task at hand. Effortless Meditation and other mindfulness tools allow students to access that moment of clarity to bring things in to perspective.

THE CENTRED MEDITATION STORY
NIKKI
I was in my third year of my Psych undergraduate degree at University. My final exams were coming up and I was highly anxious. I had a tight chest, a tense back, digestive issues, and I couldn’t stop worrying about the future. Enter Effortless Meditation. Prior to learning, I had always thought it was too difficult for someone with such an active mind like myself. Yet to my surprise, I found it to be easy, enjoyable, and effective.
With a regular, daily practice of effortless meditation, a whole host of benefits began to emerge. I was less anxious, more resilient to stress, and my digestion improved. As a result, I was calmer, happier, and more centred in all aspects of my life. So I started to tell Kevin about it…
KEVIN
I was working a pretty intense job with long hours and heavy responsibility. On the outside I was thriving – I was in a great relationship, was successful in my role, and had a healthy social life – yet the inside painted a different picture. I had this constant tightness in my chest, violent nightmares, almost daily headaches, and recurring bouts of glandular fever. Nikki had been telling me about meditation for ages, but I always thought it would just hippy nonsense!
In hiding, I began to practice Effortless Meditation every day. I couldn’t believe what I discovered. Within three weeks, the anxiety was gone, the nightmares stopped, and my headaches dissipated. What’s more, I realised I wasn’t the only one. Turns out there are thousands of scientific research papers all giving rise to the powerful benefits of meditation on health and wellbeing. I should’ve listened to Nikki earlier!
NIKKI & KEVIN
A year later we quit our jobs and headed to the region where meditation originated: South Asia. It was a wild journey! From meditating in caves, to living in Ashrams, going on silent retreats, and having teachings with the Dalai Lama and other Gurus, Swamis and Rishis. At some point we realised that whilst all the spiritual knowledge and religious doctrine were fascinating and uber valuable – they simply weren’t required for the meditation itself to work. As modern scientific research dictates, meditation is a simple mental technique that when practiced regularly, has immense physical and psychological benefit to one’s health and wellbeing.
We mused how great it would be if more people like us could access the profound effects that meditation has to offer without the usual misconceptions and barriers that get in the way. Two years later, Centred Meditation was born in June 2015. Since our inception, we’ve hosted thousands of people in our urban sanctuary and are continually pleased by the quick and powerful effects that our Effortless Meditation technique has in their lives.

Thanks to the Sydney lockdown, I’m participating in a centred meditation retreat ‘at home’. This is almost the end of day 1 and I’m loving it! The comms have been great, the master classes incredibly informative and the meditation sessions were restorative and grounding. But above all of those positives, even through Zoom, I can feel the care and loving vibe from my fellow participants, we are connected, albeit virtually… magical 🙏✨

28/08/2021 Used to go here a lot when I worked around the corner. Absolutely loved it. Felt calm, energised after the sessions. Miss having centred meditation in Amsterdam now we moved here!! Lisanne Jonkman
05/08/2021 I'm really enjoying the Clarity Meditation sessions offered by Centred Meditation. I sign up to take part in the middle of the day to find my centre again and regroup in between online meetings and puppy walks. It's been an incredible support for me during the Sydney lockdown this time around. Thanks Nikki & Kevin 🙂 x Ohana Flow
02/08/2021 - Recommend highly. Such a respectful, professional & communicative centre. The teachers are knowledgable and helpful. They take the time to care about individuals. I love attending the sessions!
Bel Tenni
17/07/2021 A real gem in the CBD providing a much needed getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. I am a yoga and meditation teacher myself and can tell you a place like Centred Meditation is absolutely essential and vital for all. The space is warm, cozy and complete with relaxing chairs and blankets. You will be in good hands in this environment. Thank you guys for such a beautiful practice Monica Garner
31/03/2021 If you really want to live your life... go to Centred Meditation and learn the Effortless Meditation technique. It is “effortless” and “powerful” at the same time. Hypnosis For Humanity
12/03/2021 - A sanctuary right in the middle of the CBD! Highly recommend especially for busy professionals looking for a space to reset and find calm. No need to sit at your desk and work through a lunch break - imagine a welcoming space that allows you to unwind and come back more refreshed. Welcoming teachers and comfy chairs, perfect for beginners as well as those with an established practice. Only wish I had discovered the studio sooner, having worked in the CBD for many years it was exactly what I needed.

12/03/2021 Great lunch time sessions. Feel so relaxed and focused again going back to the office ! 
Kerry Durose
04/03/2021 Such a lovely place in the middle of the busy CBD.
As soon as you arrive, you leave all the stress of the day behind you. I love coming here during my lunch break. The team is so great and welcoming. After the meditations I feel so much more calm and reenergised. I am much more productive at work.
Can highly recommend.

15/02/2021 - Such a lovely break from the busy CBD, I've gone every single lunchtime and it really sets me up for the rest of the day. Would recommend to anyone, plus the chairs are super comfy and you can wrap up in a blanket provided too, very relaxing.

24/02/2020 Love the peacefulness of this venue and the clear and calm teachers. A great way to escape from the chaos of the office and find tranquility during the day. 
Caroline Masters
06/01/2020 Amazing meditation place. They offer helpful intro sessions making meditation accessible to people with no experience at all. And thanks Nikki for the follow-up that makes sure I'm making the best use of the sessions! 
Stanley Luo
17/12/2019 - I've been using Centred Meditation as a barrier between my work and home life. So far so good and after work I stop thinking about work and haven't been bringing it home.
Julian Kozianski
03/12/2019 My wife and I had been meditating for years but balancing the craziness of life had been an increasing struggle since moving to Sydney.
Finding Centred Meditation was as a "blessing" that presented itself with perfect timing. The team has helped revive our practice and introduced us to an amazing community of like-minded people. Their facility in the city is a great place to recharge during a short break and their virtual studio is awesome if you're often on the move.
I have huge respect for the team and the value that they offer. Keep it up guys - you help make lives better

18/11/2019 An oasis of calm in the heart of the CBD. I go there at the end of a long day at work and it does wonders to recharge me. Highly recommended! 
Samuel Huet
14/11/2019 - An amazing experience! Such a friendly and soul warming environment. As a first time meditater I felt very welcomed and knowledgeable by the end of the session.
Alexander Brooke
18/10/2019 I’ve discovered this gem recently and I’ve really enjoyed the meditation sessions. I go at lunchtime and I always feel more calm and centred afterwards. It’s becoming the highlight of my day! 
Marine Jamet
10/10/2019 The session are nice and carming. i have told that meditation is a good way to engage in the present which i have lost touch with over the years and been living in the future. i really hope this ongoing treatment will allow me to become more real with myself.
The guides are nicely spoken and provides the calming feeling that i like. 
Daniel Galea
09/10/2019 - I was a little wary of meditation. Having tried different iterations in the past and never being able to completely still my mind, which I thought was the point, I had given up.
I stumbled across Centered Meditation and this approach has been amazing. I like that it doesn’t feel difficult, I don’t need to try really hard to stop thinking and it’s nice to set aside 30min that I know is purely for me. It’s helped me recharge and I walk out of class feeling light and calm, which is amazing after a busy day at work.
I highly recommend this style of meditation, as it truly does feel effortless.
jessica grujovski
28/08/2019 Centred meditation has been an absolute game changer for me. After only two weeks I can see tangible results. I am calmer, have more clarity, am more productive, and the tension is my neck has completely disappeared.
This style of meditation is so enjoyable that I look forward to it every day. Thank you so much to the phenomena team who are so lovely and supportive. 
Iris Qi
19/08/2019 My absolute favourite time of the week! Love the tea and coconut water on arrival, the meditations are awesome (and not difficult to do) and I feel great. Thank you 🙂 
Sarah Pern
28/05/2019 - Best decision I’ve made all year.
I’ve been struggling with chronic back pain for over 2 years which has been physically and mentally challenging. I see a great physio and exercise physiologist but only ever made small improvements. Meditation on the other hand as genuinely changed my life. I’ve been coming to centred meditation for 2 months and in that time have made more progress than I have in the last 2 years. My anxiety around the pain has almost completely gone and I’m actually back running again. It has been amazing. I’ve tried meditation in the past but could never really get into it. I’m now loving it and I really like the teaching style. I highly recommend you do the 2 week trial and get as many sessions in as you can so you can really feel the benefits.

26/04/2019 Amazing guided meditation sessions. Centred meditation offers great sessions during business lunch breaks which is perfect to recharge for your work day! 
Kama Toula
11/04/2019 - Signing up for their two week into offer was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made so far - the place is so nice, with large comfy arm chairs, blankets, free tea, filter water and coconut water. Plus the guided meditation was amazing! I felt so much more relaxed and grounded afterwards as well.
Leilani Horthy Banks
27/03/2019 I can’t recommend the sessions and the team at Centred Meditation enough. I have tried various different meditations in person and online over the years but never found one that I stuck to. Centred Meditation works for me for a variety of reasons but the main ones being the simplicity of the sessions themselves so that anyone can learn to meditate, the caring nature of Nikki, Kevin and the rest of the team and the convenience of being able to walk in to a super comfortable and friendly studio in the middle of the CBD at convenient times throughout the day. The results I feel from the sessions are definitely noticeable and I find myself feeling calmer, happier and generally with less ‘brain fog’ on a daily basis 
Damien Gould
27/03/2019 Centred meditation is a fantastic way to wind down during the working day & get some calm into your day. The setting is perfect - with tea, comfortable armchairs & blankets! The speakers are brilliant & its become part of my daily routine. Would highly recommend you to try it out!

27/02/2019 I started attending sessions a few weeks ago and I’m hooked. I meditate with an app on my commute but this half an hour is next level. Quite possibly the best half hour of my work week 
Jodie Hampshire
19/02/2019 I have found Centered Meditation an excellent facility within the chaos of the Sydney CBD. A relaxed environment with good value meditation and Mindfullness sessions - The tutors are good and "on point" to deliver in sessions timed to be useful within the busy CBD area - public transport also stops close by - Highly recommended
