Meditation and Mindfulness Practice Classes

Most people begin Meditation or Mindfulness Practice for stress reduction. So, you have heard of it as Mindfulness-Based-Stress-Reduction. Most of the traditional approaches to stress reduction speak to prevention of stress. But what if you can’t prevent the stress? What if the job, or life situation is, by its very nature, stressful? Mindfulness Practice and Meditation teaches you to change the way you react to stress, allowing you to be relaxed and happy in difficult situations. When you feel you are done for now with your meditation become aware of the room, open your eyes and write down any experiences or perceptions you may have had in your session. With the intent that you are now done your session, stretch, breathe deeply, pick up your glass and walk away from yourmeditation space.This enables you to handle stress and boredom and to choose, if you want, to remain with a stressful job or life situation.

Mindfulness Practice comes from ancient roots. It is the universal concept of living in the present moment. This means letting go of the “monkey Mind”. The Monkey Mind is the mind that is constantly on the go – thoughts jumping from one thing to another.This is not your natural state. Our natural state is relaxaed. So, practice by making time for your meditations as often as you require. I suggest for people to try to have one session of good quality a week. Slowly increase the length of time you meditate to whatever is comfortable for the lifestyle you choose to express. Start out by sitting for 10 minutes, and then increase the time. Some people like to meditate for one hour every day.

Mindfulness Practice makes you learn to let go of thoughts of the past and future, of worry and agitation, and rest in awareness of what is actually happening now. It is the art of conscious living, of self-inquiry, and is for anyone who wants to reduce stress and boredom, solve life’s problems and live life more fully.
