Improving Mindfulness and Concentration

Increasing the Power and Joy of Our Meditations

This class is offered in person only

$10 per class, free for supporting members

The key to improving your meditations is to improve your concentration. And the key component in that process is the practice of mindfulness. With stronger mindfulness we are able to hold our object of meditation and abide with it for longer and longer periods of time. With improved concentration we are able to absorb into our object so as to fully experience its mind’s life-enhancing, deeply relaxing, mentally pacifying and enriching benefits.

In this series, Julie will teach us how to vastly improve our meditation skills in conjunction with the beautiful and life-changing meditation on the clarity of the mind. Everyone can learn to do this. It just takes a wish (which we will learn how to develop) and regular training (which we can easily integrate into our own schedule.) Come along for this profound journey into your mind’s extraordinary potential. Everyone welcome.

NEXT SERIES

Living Your Best Mind

We are currently controlled by our mental habits and past actions. Our habits are anchored in the mind, engrained by repetition, programming us to act and respond in certain ways. With Buddha's wisdom teachings, we can observe self-limiting habits and conditioning in the light and space of our own indestructible potential, so that we can learn to live from our best mind.
In this series, we will embark upon a sequence of meditations known as the ‘Stages of the Path’, sometimes referred to by its Tibetan name, ‘Lamrim’. These ‘stages’ are all the essential insights taught by Buddha, arranged in the order in which they are to be realized. Lamrim is a step-by-step guide to experiencing the full joy and meaning of our human life, we will explore how our relationships, job, enjoyments, can be made part of a joyful path leading us ever closer to the fulfillment of our highest potential, enlightenment.

Everyone welcome.
