Introduction to Meditation
 Open to anyone interested in learning to meditate, this course is a two day introduction to meditation based on four premises:
(1) Personal meditation is one of the most readily accessible ways to heal mental, emotional, and spiritual issues and to speed physical healing;
(2) You do not have to join any specific spiritual tradition in order to meditate;
(3) No one meditative technique is right for everyone,
(4)But everyone can discover a technique that is right for them if introduced to meditative practices from different traditions.
This course presents "meditation" as an ancient "energy technology" that evolved in a variety of culture-based formats, all of which have been proven to produce marked beneficial physical and psychological effects in the practitioner. Course includes discussion of the goals and techniques of meditation across different cultures, but focuses on the meditative experience by leading participants through a range of meditation formats with the purpose of helping everyone find the most personally compatible form of meditation for use in ongoing meditative practice. Course includes more "active" forms of meditation such as chakra breathing, Vipassna, Taoist Meditations, Qigong meditations, and Earth Heart meditations for those who find "still point" forms difficult or wish more variety in their meditative practices.
Classes usually Friday, 7:00-9:30, Saturday 9:30 - 4:30;
Sunday, 1:00-5:00
Times can be adjusted for student needs when at Warrior's Way.
