I meditate every day because it gives me internal spaciousness - and I love that feeling.
Meditation is the gateway to personal growth, inner awareness and spiritual connection. Developing a witness awareness is essential to moving beyond lifeless patterns and the trance of auto-pilot or distracted living. We live in stressful times. Now is the perfect time to renew commitments to yourself and embrace the bigger source of meaning your life is offering. Developing a meditation practice with Soul is developing a sustainable wellness habit for life while building a deeper relationship with yourself and the world. Meditation is the most accessible and readily available technique to grow your purpose, passion and power with.
Regardless of how you see your current life cirucumstances, meditation always makes it better.
Learn to meditate with Soul is suitable for beginners, people developing their practice and long term meditators alike because each class creates its own unique group synergy based on the experiences, curiosities and wisdom of the people who arrive. Since 2015 when I taught my first meditation class, no two classes have been exactly the same. While we read the same information and cover the same themes, the questions, discussions and experiences that arise are a result of each groups unique synergy. In this way each class becomes naturally tailored to the group that forms. Learn to Meditate with Soul is the perfect place to refresh your knowledge and develop and/or deepen your meditation practice with Soul.
When you learn to meditate you learn to be present with your life.
I have found meditators fall into three categories: 1) beginning 2) developing 3) deepening. Beginners may practice mindfulness or read about meditation but they haven’t yet developed a daily meditation practice. Beginners need the committment, structure and guidance of group mentorship. People developing a meditation practice may have taken courses, used apps or even had a daily meditation practice for a short while but it hasn’t been sustainable. Developers wax and wane with their practice and need renewed clarity, insight and guidance to receive the many benefits of meditation. People deepening their practice have a daily meditation practice that is sustainable and continues to grow. These folks are interested in the continual learning and growth meditation brings, the depths of reflection and in sharing the synergy and spiritual insights of a group practice.
Whether you are beginning, developing or deepening your meditation practice meditation is one of the best investments you can make in your physical, mental and spiritual health and wellness. Meditation has 1000’s of proven health benefits, including everything from reduced anxiety, blood pressure and sleepless nights to increased energy and a feeling of vitality with meaning in life.
As well as creating a daily practice, receiving numerous health benefits, experiencing the subtle body of your chakra system and meditating together , Learn to Meditate with Soul gives you access to immediate mentoring & guidance in a group setting. The opportunity to meet life-minded people and to do something invaluable and sustainably healthy for yourself and the people you serve. Most importantly, you will learn how to meditate for life.
