It’s easy to start a new practice and then abandon it for something else. Creating a meditation habit that lasts is an art. Learn essential techniques for creating a joyful but disciplined meditation practice that will support and sustain you for a lifetime.

We will look at the essentials of how to meditate and how to create a consistent, joyful routine. There will be plenty of time for questions and a discussion of how we can refine our practice going forward.

Developing Confidence

May 10 – 12

Maria-meditator

Confidence is key.

When we have confidence, we can overcome anything. The teachings from Buddhist psychology explain how to cultivate confidence in three things: our own potential, our practice of meditation and our ability to overcome our painful ways of thinking called “delusions”. Through cultivating these forms of self-confidence, we will oppose discouragement and low self-esteem. In addition, these encouraged attitudes will give us tremendous, joyful energy in our meditative life. This will allow us to have a healthy, vibrant meditation practice that can continue day after day, bringing incredible meaning to our life.
