Meditation 101: Making it Simple

Service Description

Meditation. So many of us have tried, but haven’t yet felt successful in making it a habit, or in receiving the benefits that the research claims. Many of us find it impossible to still the mind, or to even sit still long enough to try. This class is for anyone who has been discouraged by those experiences or has been reluctant to start. In this 6-week series we will: - Use a slow approach to introducing the practice of meditation into your life. - Look to our experiences and inclinations to find a meditation style that we love so much, we wouldn’t want to skip it! - Practice how to bring the benefits of meditation off of the cushion and into our lives in a way that allows us to be all of who we are. Each week we will talk about 1 or 2 skills that are easy and accessible. You will be provided with a short audio and some visual pages to help you revisit the key skills whenever you want. This class is appropriate for both beginning meditations and those coming back to try meditation again. Leigh is a co-founder of Unfold, and has been a beginning meditator for over 10 years. She learns more and loves meditation more every year! After discovering the simple, personalized techniques of Instinctive Meditation®, she has experienced personal shifts that have shown up as being more tolerant of life's inevitable ups and downs, more present with the people she loves, and more deeply in love with life (even when it's hard). Leigh has studied extensively with The Radiance Sutras School of Meditation, earning a 200 hour certification and is in the midst of continued training. Her fundamental approach to meditation is that we all have the innate ability to meditate. The obstacles to overcome are our ideas about how to adapt the practice. Cost is $250 for the 6-week course, materials and videos. A limited number of half-off scholarships available at info@unfoldportland.com. Please inquire!
