What if your meditation practice was simply giving yourself time to
be with what is happening in your inner world in the most
compassionate way possible? We are taught that taking time each day
to get quiet will help us to heal and grow...BUT WHAT IF WE HAVE A
HARD TIME GETTING QUIET?!? Does that mean we won’t heal or grow?
Truthfully, most people find it challenging to quiet the mind and
stop the mental chatter. Our brains are built to THINK, but that
does not mean we have to remain shackled to our thoughts. There are
many tools and practices to assist you in a simple yet potent
meditation. Your daily sit does not have to be hours long,
involving complex breath practices, to be effective. Learning to
observe your thoughts and pay attention to your breath does
wonders. In this three-part series we will demystify meditation by
discussing what it is not, prepare our bodies to comfortably sit,
and explore mindfulness tools that will help us become more present
in our practice. Mindfulness is a muscle that we must exercise to
master. This workshop is appropriate for both beginners and
experienced practitioners.
