Mindfulness Meditation Class

Mindfulness helps you self-regulate; feeling more physically, mentally and emotionally relaxed. Meditation is the deliberate focusing of attention to bring about feelings of calm and heightened energy and awareness.

There are many different techniques to choose from when Meditating.

Each week in our class we will include 6 Healing Sounds, which is a meditation for the organs and a Sleeping Meditation as well as different types of meditation.

Some examples include:

-concentrating on your breath – consciously noticing the movement of air in and out of your nostrils, or counting your breaths in many different  ways
-grounding and mindfulness – being aware of your inner experiences , including bodily sensations, feelings, thoughts and memories and simply observing them without any  judgement
-emptying your mind – allowing your mind to be clear and empty, gently letting go of any stray thoughts, or allowing thoughts to float in and out like clouds in the sky
-looking at an object – focusing your attention, but not necessarily your thoughts, on the shape, sound and texture of an object such as a tree, a candle flame, or a spiritually significant painting or image
-movement – using a physical technique like yoga, qi gong or tai chi to still your mind by coordinating your breath and body with gentle movement
-using a mantra – repeating a word or phrase over and over, either aloud or silently,

Our classes are suitable for any level from beginners to experienced.
