Mindfulness Meditation Practice @ 6:00 pm on Fridays

Dear Friends,

We join together for guided Mindfulness Meditation Practice as 6:00 every Friday evening. For 30 minutes we gather to collect oursevles and re-connect with our experience. It's a beautiful way to move into the weekend.

Heartfelt donations are welcome. Start a new practice with us, the support and the teaching is here!

The ancient wisdom of mindfulness has been supported by scientific research. Studies (https://www.meetup.com/EastBayMeditation/events/68694162/) have found the following benefits for people who have completed mindfulness training and practice mindfulness meditation:

Increased self-awareness, self-trust, and self-acceptance

Enhanced appreciation of life

Serenity in the face of difficulties

More accepting attitude toward life and its challenges

More fluid adaptation to change and development of more effective coping strategies

Lasting decreases in a variety of stress-related physical symptoms, including chronic pain (https://www.meetup.com/MinneapolisMeditation/events/68072832/)

Significant decreases in anxiety (https://www.meetup.com/EastBayMeditation/events/68694162/) and depression (https://www.meetup.com/MinneapolisMeditation/events/68072832/)

Improved concentration and creativity

Improved immune system functioning

Decreased symptoms secondary to cancer

We will be offering mindfulness meditations each Friday and hope you will join us for one or many sessions. Each session is about half an hour. There will be no sharing or talking- only a simple guided meditation. Participants are then welcome to leave or join the teacher (https://www.meetup.com/EastBayMeditation/events/68694162/) for a brief question and answer period. Please enter mindfully and quietly and bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the ground.

Warmly,

Deacon Joan
