This course is an introduction to mindfulness and concentration practices that support meditation. These practices support increasing emotional calmness and lowering stress reactivity. Throughout the four sessions, participants will learn concrete techniques for:
​
  • How to hold the body
  • How to breathe
  • How to focus the mind 
  • How to release unbeneficial thoughts
  • How to relax tension in the mind and body
  • How to observe the movements of the mind

These skills can be cultivated, and in doing so, you will achieve moments of clarity, equanimity, and joy. Meditation is a practice that anyone can learn, and over time, the practitioner will experience many positive results. It just takes some knowledge and a desire to establish this life practice.
​This course is open to  beginners as well as experienced practitioners.  We welcome people who have no experience and want to establish a meditation practice. We also welcome those who want to brush up their skills and re-ignite their practice. You will learn concrete and specific ways to make your practice more skillful and more beneficial.


The class is taught by Lezlie Laws. Click here for more information about Lezlie.
