If you want support in establishing a daily mindfulness meditation practice or deepening your practice this is the class for you. During this six-session journey you will learn mindfulness of breathing, the body, of emotions, thoughts, of mind, and of the application of mindfulness in daily life and on retreat.
This class is appropriate for beginners as well as for those more experienced meditators who want to refresh the fundamentals of practice.
The benefits of this practice include:
A healthier relationship with your thoughts.
More balance with your emotions.
Being more in touch with your body and mind.
Increased capacity to be loving and kind.
Being more peaceful.
This class will provide you with a relaxed and supportive environment for mindfulness practice to deepen. Doug will tailor his instruction to meet your specific needs.
