Think "meditation" and what do you see? A yogi in full lotus pose chanting Om? If that’s your image, think again. Meditation is an attainable and simple practice meant to liberate anyone from chattering thoughts, stress, and negativity. Meditation regulates the breath, reduces blood pressure, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system (our off switch). We’re calmer, more aware and more likely to think before acting or speaking.
Based on the book Commit to Sit, this series explores several aspects of meditating:
- Comfortable body positioning
- Dealing with obstacles
- Preparatory asanas (poses)
- Pranayama (breathwork)
To find a meditation technique that resonates with you, we will explore 8 different forms of meditation through the 8 week series:
- Dharana ("concentration"), Trataka (candle gazing meditation)
- Metta Meditation (Loving Kindness)
- Guided Meditation
- Mandala Meditation
- Mantra Meditation
- Walking Meditation
- Breath Meditation
- Singing Meditation
Weekly handouts and resources will help establish and strengthen your meditation practice.
