Want to have a clearer, more spacious mind? The list of the benefits of meditation seems to be growing every day. Meditating even as little as 5 minutes a day can change our brains, our minds and our outlook. Meditation is very practical. It is the cultivation of deep sanity through the art of relaxation, stillness, and vigilance leading to deeper and deeper states of inner knowledge.
By learning to meditate, we begin to cultivate the awareness necessary to make wise choices, to create a happy future by thinking and acting wisely. Join Elaine Jackson for this daylong meditaiton retreat that will include teachings and meditations.
This class is for anyone who has an interest in meditation, whether they already have an established practice or are brand new. By maintaining an attitude of childlike wonder, we can always learn something new. When we practice together we learn from each other.
