Breathing is the foundation for all life processes. On all levels the breath is a prerequisite for growth and transformation, whether we are looking at a single cell, entire tissue structures or the organ system. Human beings, animals, plants and the whole planet depend on the flow of life-force. Our reversed inner tree of life, the bronchial tree resides within our chest allowing us, through the medium of the breath, to make this connection between our outer and inner worlds. With every inhale and exhale we take part in this infinite exchange of giving and taking. Our breath connects us in every moment with the alternating current of life at the same time it can free us from the claims of our material existence.

You know that practicing meditation would help lower your stress levels. You know that meditation will help you with all the chatter in your mind, with trouble sleeping, and will improve your overall well-being. You might have even sat down to meditation only to find yourself easily distracted and agitated even more! No need to give up though! Whether you tried meditation before or not, you will learn something new in this class. We will go over some different meditation techniques so that you find some that work better for you:

• Focusing on the breath
• Creating an easy imagery to visualize
• Using a mantra to focus your mind
• Movement meditation

We will also discuss the posture, mudras (hand-gestures), and have fun while meditating! You will feel a difference right away!

This session is about Making Friends With Fear.  Our society doesn’t deal well with fear.  We’re programmed to want to stay safe at all costs, to run away FAST whenever we encounter anything that causes us the least little bit of apprehension.  It’s an instinctive reaction that the culture heartily endorses, and those instincts don’t discriminate between change that threatens us and change that stretches and empowers us.  The minute that “Unknown!” button is pushed, our genetic code and our training join forces to warn us off in no uncertain terms.

But there are other options besides “fight or flight”.  What if it could be safe to move TOWARD the fear, dancing with it, back a little, forward a little, gradually opening to a greater, more powerful version of yourself?

In this session, we will GENTLY tease out the strands of our fears, respecting their need to protect us and shield our privacy, and discover how to calm our nerves at those times when we want to be brave.  You’ll try some exercises that will reveal you to yourself and help you come to terms with your fear.  There will also be time for sharing, mutual support and en-courage-ment.
