Mindfulness Meditation group practice every Wednesday evening at Unity of Gaithersburg.

Mindfulness practice is not about achieving some special state of mind; it is more about noticing the experience you are having without trying to change it.
This interesting video suggests why you might sit and watch your mind wander off.

This noticing tends to shift your nervous system from a 'fight-or-flight' state to a more relaxed and receptive state. In this receptive mental state, you begin to see your own experience differently and, over time, see other people and the world differently.
Also, it is good for you: "the effect of regular meditation on the cortex was so profound that fifty-year-old meditators had a prefrontal cortex that looked like that of a twenty-five-year-old"

Here is an interesting and funny take on meditation by Ajahn Brahm:

If you arrive on time, there will be an introduction at the beginning, if you arrive late, find a chair and join us. There will be some discussion after.
This is a free event, but contributions to the church's expenses are welcome.
You can just show up this Wednesday or subsequent Wednesdays.
