A
New Teleclass Workshop for everyone who wants to learn meditation
or is looking for new approaches to meditation.
Meditation is the doorway to the Now. It is a way to be totally present, alert, and simply aware of all that is, as it is. Simply being in this moment, again and again and again.
You’re invited to join us in a teleclass workshop and experience three different types of meditation. Through all three approaches, you will have the opportunity to learn to shift away from your thoughts and direct your attention elsewhere. Quieting the mind allows you to open to direct experience of what is here, now. You will enter into the Silence, and come to realize that you are not separate from anyone or anything—we are, in truth, One.
--We will explore Vipassana (insight) meditation, in which we begin simply observe our own breath, sometimes noting the thoughts that come and go. --We will also work with Samyama meditation, in which we focus attention into the heart center, into the body and feelings and directly experience whatever is present without thoughts. We continue to develop the habit of witnessing. --Finally, we’ll learn how to do Metta meditations, where we come to the heart and sometimes the breath, bringing loving kindness and compassion to feelings, people, situations, etc. |
With practice we can learn to live and see all through the silence of our Heart. The benefits are immense—peace and stillness of mind and body, an oasis from the stress of today’s living, discovery of passion, soul purpose and who we really are, and the cultivation of loving kindness that can change the world.
In addition, to provide support for regular practice, we invite you to participate in occasional telebridge meditation sessions where we will sit in silent meditation together.
