Fitting Mindfulness into a Hectic Schedule: Methods for Practicing Meditation When Life Isn’t Cooperating
Fall 2018
More Details
For people interested in starting a mindfulness meditation practice, one of the most commonly heard complaints is, “I really want to do that, but I just couldn’t find the time this week.” This session will give a brief introduction to the main components of mindfulness meditation followed by a focus on principles that enable one to develop a useful meditation practice without adding extra meditation time to the daily schedule. An experiential guided meditation will also be provided during the session. No prior meditation experience necessary.
