Introduction to Meditation Workshop
This workshop is for anyone wishing to start a meditation practice, enhance a current practice, or for people who think they can't meditate.
You've probably heard all the benefits of meditation, such as greater focus and peace, reduced stress and anxiety, decreased blood pressure, increased pain control, and improved sleep. You KNOW you should be doing some sort of meditation. But, you may be thinking your mind is too busy to meditate. Well. I have good news - everyone can meditate - you just have to find the technique that works for you!
Meditation is like hygiene for the brain. Most people spend a large amount of time on personal hygiene, such as showering, shaving, grooming, and even washing clothes. But how much time do you spend on your mental hygiene, really?
This workshop will introduce you to the scientific benefits of meditation and explore a few myths of meditation (no - you don't have to sit in the lotus position and chant "oooooommmmmmm", although that is an option). We will talk about what happens in the brain in meditation - hint: it's all good. And, we'll try out various meditation techniques so that, hopefully, each participant finds a technique that works for him/her, such as mindfulness, mantra chanting, breath focus, and even movement-based meditation. We'll start each session with a bit of yoga and breath-work to prepare the body and mind for meditation. You will learn how to use a Mala to keep track of your meditation time or repetitions.
Here are the details:
When: Tuesdays, January 21 - February 11 (4 weeks)
Time: 6 - 7:30 pm
Where: Windows on Broadway, 401 Broadway, Highland, IL
What to wear: comfortable clothing that allows ease of movement and breathing
Cost: $75, includes a Mala from my India trip
