Beginning Meditation Class

The challenges and pace of our modern lives create in us a habit of directing our energy outward.  This is not a new problem, but it does seem to be experienced much more in our culture.  Many of us have not learned how to listen to our inner thoughts and feelings.  We often carry our outer life stresses over into the internal realm, and actually add stress to our lives by replaying issues and situations over without finding resolutions for them. This is a natural tendency of the mind – it seeks to deal with pain and threat in an almost obsessive manner at times. 

One way to break this pattern is meditation.  Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years in some form in many cultures.  Through meditation, we learn to focus uncritically on one thing at a time. 

By training ourselves to do this, we can experience benefits in many areas of life:

• Enhanced ability to focus on the task at hand
• Awareness of thought patterns affecting your actions
• Ability to create a state of deep relaxation – quickly
• Increased ability to solve problems
• Potential health benefits

You can learn beginning meditation in only one class session.
