Focus: Here and Now

The Sweetness of Attention; the Power of Concentration - A Three Hour Meditation Workshop in the Shamatha TraditionShamatha refers to the training of settling the body, breath, and mind in their natural states. When these techniques are practiced and mastered, we experience a deep stillness, which is not only the foundation for all insights, but also a very useful platform upon which to build a more peaceful and happy life. You will learn to still the mind in a state of balance between brightness and relaxation using handy and workable techniques that you will be able to utilize not only on your meditation cushion, but also in your daily life, for it is within this elegant harmony that we find the most peace, productivity and functionality. This workshop is ideal for people who are new to meditation, as well as for people who wish to sharpen, deepen and exhilarate their practice. The workshop will include practical instruction, guided meditations, personal advices for your own meditation obstacles, and question and answer sessions so that by the end of our three hours together, you will have the confidence to continue to cultivate our own meditation practice at home. 0 pre-reg/0 at the door
