Simple Instructions for a meditation practice. We trust you’ll find your way and over time it changes. Please join our daily online meditation to meditate with our sangha. Or contact me if you’d like to have a more personal introduction.
- COMFORT: Choose a comfortable position (sitting or lying down) and an amount of time you would like to meditate.
- RELATIVE STILLNESS: Rather than expecting yourself to be completely quiet or still, let your thoughts, feelings and sensations be included while holding your body "relatively" still. Consider this a different kind of meditation.
- CARE: If you feel overwhelmed at any point you can bring your focus to an object (your body, a phrase or picture, the breath), or you can get up and move around.
- REFLECT: At the end of your meditation session, reflect back upon your experience (what you were thinking, feeling, and sensing) by writing it down or simply remembering in your own style. For example, drawing or walking.
- VOICE: Explore about your experience with a teacher, peer or friend.
