Meditation

Mindfulness meditation is an extraordinary practice that can decrease stress, improve sleep, improve memory and problem-solving and help reduce anxiety and depression. And, though these are wonderful benefits to experience, perhaps the cultivation of a calmer, more present heart and mind is an even greater benefit of this style of meditation.

The four foundations of mindfulness were established by the Buddha millennia ago, and they continue to guide us in this practice today. By nurturing mindfulness of the body, feeling tone, the mind and the “dhammas” (how we relate to aspects of our nature and the experiences of life), we become more aware of what is influencing us throughout the day and this awareness ultimately leads us to more understanding. When we begin to understand, we begin to realize that we can make choices that lead to more happiness and an easeful mind.

In this 4-week series, we will learn about and practice the foundations of mindfulness, bringing these essential tools to our busy lives.

Please register via the link. For an explanation of the tiered payment system, please read the “Generosity” page. Registration closes at noon on December 5th. This course will now be offered online. Please contact Ash via email if you would like to attend.

Join us for an ongoing exploration of mindfulness meditation.

Awakened Heart, Awakened Mind is a biweekly online drop-in facilitates personal meditation practice and understanding by investigating common meditation hindrances and the factors that support meditative steadiness, while gently turning towards the grace and beauty inherent in our hearts, our minds, and our lives. This evening session is designed to introduce calm, reduce stress, improve sleep, instill happiness, and offer tools for emotional well-being and self-care. (There will occasionally be a practice leader instead of an instructor.)
