SIMPLY MEDITATE

a weekly drop-in meditation class

​Tuesdays | 7 - 7:45 pm 

simple meditations for everyday life from the Buddhist tradition​

​

The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. These drop-in classes give a simple but extensive exploration of basic meditation practices.

 

In this class, we are exploring Meditations for Relaxation.  These are guided meditations that are all forms of breathing meditation.  These help to calm the mind, reduce stress, and give rise to an experience of inner peace and wellbeing. 

 

Meditations include:

​

Basic breathing meditations that help us disengage the mind from the busyness of everyday life and create a special feeling of inner peace.

 

Meditations that combine mindfulness of the breath with visualization, or creative imagination, and lead to a deep feeling of inner calm and purity.

 

Special breathing meditations that combine mindfulness of the breath with the recitation of mantra. ​

​

If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness and relaxation.

​

There is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved.
