Meditation Basics – Everyone’s Path to Inner Peace
Saturday, February 22nd | 1:00-4:00pm
at Bridge Healing Arts Center, Farmington
with Matthew Stein, Resident Teacher of Odiyana Kadampa Buddhist Center
Description:
Learn practical advice about tapping into the powerful potential of our mind through meditation practice.
The purpose of meditation is to make the mind peaceful and calm. If we learn to maintain a peaceful mind all the time, we will be happy all the time. With positive states of mind present, we can relate to ourselves and others in a more skillful and enjoyable manner. Learn to start tapping into the power of your own mind through the practice of meditation.
This workshop will include guided meditations, teachings and time for Q&A. Everyone is welcome
