| Meditation for Beginners will present the most important basic exercises for mindfulness meditation, also called Vipassana or Insight. During each session we will focus upon one of the three arenas of this type of meditation: Concentration, Mindfulness & Lovingkindness. Each Sunday Melissa will offer you a different meditation to focus upon as well as lead you through gentle yoga postures to prepare your body to sit in meditation. At the end of these sessions you will have a better understanding of Mindfulness Meditation and a variety of meditation techniques to sustain your own practice. The point of these teachings has nothing to do with becoming a Buddhist, or learning any Eastern ceremonies or rituals or bowing. What is important is that you learn how to work with meditation so you may find benefits from it in your life. To meditate is to discover new possibilities, to awaken the capacity that each of us has to live more wisely, more lovingly, more compassionately, and more fully. Please wear comfortable clothing you can move and sit in; bring your yoga mat, if you have one. A limited number of chairs are available for those who cannot sit on the floor. |
