Inner balance, less mental chatter, external peace, staying centered while moving through the world… controlling emotional reactivity… an overall sense of calm… grace… freedom from fear… energized body and mind… cultivating enhanced creativity… connection to Spirit… finding stillness… allowing all to flow freely… inner joy… learning to BE…
We all seek these benefits in our lives. Less stress, more ease. The simple, profound practice of meditation allows us to experience inner contentment, and brings relief from the constant busyness of daily life.
In this workshop, we will discuss Meditation 101… the hows and whys… answering questions for the beginner as well as the experienced. Meditation is a lifelong practice of learning and exploring the Self. There is always a new layer to understand. The first precept, there is no “right or wrong” way to meditate. There are many ways. To reach inner contentment, it is only that you do. Meditation is the art and science of releasing attachment and learning to witness.
After a short introduction, we will do a 30-45 minute asana and breath practice preparing the body and mind to be still, as it states in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali; yogash chitta vritti nirodhah… yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind. Once still, we will practice meditations including mantras, loving-kindness, guided visualization, and Taoist and Native American practices.
Join Christopher on this journey within… waking to the Self, exploring the expansiveness of its internal world. Discover your unique light and its connection to the Universal Oneness.
All levels are welcome. Please bring anything you need to be comfortable, your own meditation cushion or bench, malas, etc... blankets and bolsters will be provided as well. There will be some movement so please wear appropriate clothing.
The workshop is taught in English.
