Mindfulness meditation calms the body, stills the mind, and helps us to engage the present moment with greater awareness and ease. Through practice we can rediscover a balance between “being” and “doing.” This course will include instruction, guided meditations, and shared reflection. Topics covered will include: why it’s impossible to fail at meditation, how to cultivate calm and tranquility, overcoming common challenges, working with emotions, and the deeper spiritual potentials of meditation. Participants will sit on chairs or may bring their own meditation cushions. Required Text: Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Program by Sharon Salzberg (ISBN 978-0761159254). The book includes a CD with four guided meditations.
