Meditative absorption is a deeply peaceful state of body and mind, free of restlessness and dullness, accompanied by a wonderful sense of physical and mental wellbeing.
In this meditation workshop, you will be encouraged to let go of the stresses and tensions of every day life and learn how to cultivate the foundational qualities for experiencing such deep absorptions in meditation. Some of the benefits are to:
* Deepen physical relaxation * Develop a spacious and wakeful mind * Create the conditions for experiencing pleasure during meditation * Work with hindrances to meditation.
This 3-day workshop, conducted over the long weekend of Queen’s Birthday, consists of several meditation sessions daily, each combining explanation, guided meditations, and time for Q&A and discussion.
This course is an ideal introduction to a retreat-style meditation course, and is suitable for beginning and seasoned meditators. Please feel free to bring along a small pillow and a blanket to experiment with meditating in the supine position.
