Why Meditate?
The demands of modern society help create in us the habit of directing the great majority of our thinking and behavior outward. We tend to be only minimally in touch with our inner selves, and tend to carry over the stress of our outer lives to an internal stream of thoughts and images. We may actually add stress to our lives by mulling over problems without finding resolution to them. Through meditation, we learn to focus uncritically on one thing at a time, to go beyond suffering in our lives and remember who we really are – an immortal self who is one with the Source of all creation.
In this workshop, participants will:
* Review the difference between meditation,contemplation, prayer, and guided meditation.
* Review and learn new relaxation, breathing, grounding and centering techniques.
* Learn the techniques of one-pointed, mindfulness and walking meditation. Pre-requisite: Meditation 101
