New? What to expect in an evening meditation class
Introductory classes begin with a simple guided meditation exercise to reduce stress, tension,
and distractions.
This short meditation is followed by a short talk on how to apply Buddhist principles into daily
life. This may include topics such as improving relationships, gaining peace of mind, learning to love,
and dealing with anger. Finally we do a second meditation to look more deeply at these ideas from our
own experience.
The guided meditations are the foundation for developing a powerful meditation practice.
A regular meditation practice has many benefits:
- Helps overcome stress
- Reduces anxiety and worry
- Brings inner calm and a feeling of well-being
- Gives clarity to solve our problems
- Helps us deal with difficult people and situations
