Program Category: Meditation
Our Sunday meditation sessions provide an ideal environment
for new students to learn how to meditate, and for seasoned
meditators to deepen their practice.
We use meditation to work with our minds and to cultivate the
potential of the mind to experience more happiness. Both neuroscience
and medical research have studied the effects of meditation and
discovered many benefits of this practice. These include stress
reduction, lower blood pressure, increased attention, less anger,
greater positive mental states, and an increase in our capacity for
peace and happiness. Beyond that, meditation is an essential part of
our spiritual practice if we are wanting to attain spiritual
realizations.
No prior experience meditation is required.
