Heart-Centered
Meditation Group
For beginners and advanced meditators:
Our meditation is a Heart Centered Practice. A Heart Centered Practice is the path of the heart releasing, healing, and transforming the energies that we have held on to that cause pain, resistance, fear. As the heart heals we begin to open up allowing love to enter and move us to greater compassion for ourselves and others but also greater self authenticity. This meditation practice will heighten your awareness to the energies within and around us for the purpose of spiritual cultivation, mental, emotional, and physical connection, balance, clarity and, overall wellbeing.
Why Meditate?
Meditation is a practice that trains your attention and awareness while cultivating mental and emotional clarity and peace. Meditation has been found to decrease heart rate, blood pressure, lactic acid in the blood (which increases anxiety, increase in electrical resistance of the skin (associated with deep relaxation), increase in alpha brain wave activity. The continued study of meditation has been found to reduce chronic anxiety, worry, and prevent relapses of three or more episodes depression (Segal, Williams, and Teasdale 2002). Other long range benefits include: increased focus, increase energy level and productivity, decrease of self criticism, increase accessibility of emotions, heightened self esteem and sense of identity. So the real question is….why not?

Thursday Meditation Group Preparation & Guidelines
In preparation of your meditation sessions here are some things you might want to think about:
- Wear comfortable and loose clothing
- If you get cold easily bring socks and a favorite blanket or sweater
- You may want to bring your own cushion/pillow to sit on but there are pillows available in my space as well.
Here are some rules or guidelines to follow:
- Please arrive on the day, 5-10 minutes early as we start right away, it will also give you time to grab some tea and settle down.
- Shoes are taken off at the door and placed on the shoe rack in the next room.
- What we share with one another in the space, stays in the space of meditation, to respect privacy and safety.
- Please do not share anyone’s information unless they give you permission.
- When people are taking turns sharing their experience, you can support, encourage, and share your experience, but do not give advice unless they request it.
- When we end sessions, please help to return your cushions and drop off tea mugs in the area by the tea kettle.
Reminder:
- It will help your meditation practice to be consistent twice a month and meditate in between those times at home for as long as you are able to sit or move in meditation. There is not requirement for how long you need to meditate as long as you can set a time, find a space that feels comfortable, and are not distracted.
- This is a 6-week biweekly group in which payment is expected online before or at your first session. If you miss a session, there are no refunds.
