Meet For Meditation Practice

We begin our meditation with a brief metta (loving kindness) practice to make the mind open and compassionate, then begin concentration practice to develop the skill of focusing the mind on the breath and allowing thoughts to arise and depart without judging them or holding on to them. Practice begins at 7:15 pm, but come early enough to say hello to folks and to settle in so that we can begin on time (and also, if you are new to meditation we can answer questions if you come a bit early). Total practice time is about 40 minutes. There is no fee but donations are gratefully accepted and are passed on to the UU Church with our thanks for the use of the sanctuary for our meditation practice. Afterward, stay for conversation. Hope to see you!
