Smiths Falls branch: The Meditation Toolkit; Mindfulness, Focus, Clarity

Meditation calms the mind, brings focus, and helps us develop inner strength and a sense of joy. To experience these benefits, we need to meditate effectively. In this six-week series, we’ll explore the essential building blocks of successful meditation - how to stay motivated, how to choose and focus on an object of meditation, how to improve mindfulness and concentration - and ultimately, how to experience the fruits of ancient Buddhist wisdom.

Each of these classes include two guided meditations and a practical talk. After class there is time for Q&A.
