SECULAR MEDITATION - 32 Practices for Cultivating Inner Peace, Compassion and Joy

by Rick Heller via Zoom Tuesdays at 8:30am on zoom

This is a 40 minute reading and sitting meditation practice. Meditation is a form of mental exercise with numerous scientifically verified physical and psychological benefits. As meditation teacher Rick Heller shows, the benefits of the practice extend beyond the personal to enrich relationships with others, with one’s community, and with the world. In Secular Meditation, step-by-step instructions, personal stories, and provocative questions teach empathy for others, stress reduction, and the kind of in-the-moment living that fosters appreciation for life and resilience in the face of adversity. Heller simplifies what is often found mysterious, describing and providing detailed instructions for thirty-two different practices, ensuring that anyone can find the right one.

Please join Saramaria via Zoom for a 40-minute practice with a reading and a 20 minute meditation and discussion.
