About the event
OVERVIEW
This training is for everyone - yoga teachers, massage therapists, health care workers, educators, and anyone with a desire to evolve and welcome peace, ease, and joy into everyday life.
The goal of meditation is to go beyond the mind and experience our essential nature—which is peace, happiness, and bliss. Ananda.
Meditation is awakening the truth of our nature. Meditation is a time to witness and explore your being, a practice for resting and rejuvenating the mind, watching the thoughts without judgment. Meditation is a way of getting to know your soul.
During meditation, thoughts come and go, be at peace, do not stop the thoughts or judge, just observe and witness them.
“This body we witness therefore this body we are not. This mind we witness therefore this mind we are not. We are the witness alone, the observer of this experience.” – Thich Nhat Hanh.
In meditation, the mind is relaxed and inwardly focused. When you meditate, you are fully awake and alert, but your mind is not focused on the external world or on the events taking place around you. Meditation welcomes an inner stillness to relax the mind. When the mind is relaxed meditation deepens and intuition heightens.
