A regular meditation practice can reduce stress, enhance concentration, improve sleep, support the immune system and more. But it can be tough to meditate without a guide, particularly in the beginning. There are a lot of messages about meditation in popular culture that can lead to misunderstanding and struggle. Our four-week meditation series includes instruction and the opportunity to ask questions, troubleshoot and practice with the community - all from the comfort of your home.
Students must pre-register for the entire series by February 4 in order to receive instructions to connect to the course. Students will be able to connect via phone or computer. Recordings of all four classes will be available to download so if you miss a week you will still receive all four sessions.
Week 1: Understanding the Function of Stress and the Mind
Stress is normal. And it can cause problems. Understanding how the brain and nervous system deal with stress provides a foundation on which to approach meditation skillfully.
Week 2: Foundations of Mindfulness
What is the difference between awareness and thinking? We will discuss and practice fundamental meditation techniques.
Week 3: Concentration, Relaxation and Right Effort
Too much effort in meditation and you'll add to your stress; too little effort and you'll miss the benefits. So, how do you know what is too much and what is too little in meditation? We'll address this question.
Week 4: Troubleshooting and Moving Forward
We'll discuss some common pitfalls in meditation and explore how to make a home practice accessible to you.
