Mindfulness Meditation with Beryl Bender
May 18 @ 7:30 am - 9:00 am EDT
$40.00
Join us Saturday, May 18th for Mindfulness Meditation from 7:30 am – 9:00 am
Why do we want to meditate? Reduce stress? Learn to self regulate? Quiet the mind? Shut off thoughts? Gain psychic powers? Be able to say “I meditate!”
What is meditation anyway? How does it work to help us down regulate? What happens after that?
Many people say they are too busy, or too stressed to have time to meditate. Meditation is not a “something” that you are adding to your life. It is subtracting, not adding. It frees you from the non-stop wasted energy of being lost in thought, about the past or future. It can also be coincident with every moment of your life as there is nothing you can do, once you know how to meditate, that excludes meditation. It is the recognition of an “intrinsic character of Consciousness” and that all there is is Consciousness and its contents, and you are not a separate observer of that experience. Consciousness is not in you. You are in Consciousness. Curious? Join us for a lively discussion exploring the classic Buddhist practice of vipassana and move deeper into your spiritual journey.
