Meditation Course on Vashon
Meditation techniques, benefits and how to establish a meditation practice
Meditation can bring you peace, calm and feeling content. Like you’ve done enough. And it’ll help you reduce anxiety, fear, anger, hatred, greed.
That state of mind you seek by chasing more things, wealth, status, jobs, friends, love, s*x, etc. is already in you. But you’re so distracted by the chase you’ll never get to experience it. Meditation can help you be less consumed by the chase and experience more of that happy, calm state of mind.
Thoughts arise endlessly, like it or not. And you don’t know what you’ll think next. If you did, you’d have to think it before you think it. Meditation is training your mind’s attention function. Instead of following whatever thought or feeling just popped up and took over your entire identity, meditation practice can give you the power to choose what will occupy your mind.
This meditation course teaches meditation practice and techniques through guided training sessions, lectures and online and live talks about Buddhism and neuroscience. The guided training sessions will mostly be from Sam Harris’ Waking Up course. It’s practical, not religious, there’s no rituals, no robes, no bells nor whistles. Traditional meditation practices such as Vipasana or Zazen do emphasize meditation but don’t offer much advice on how to meditate and how to establish a regular practice. That’s what this course aims to help you do. Get more bang for your meditation buck, if you will.
This is not a Zen Center activity, it’s an independent private initiative, we just use the Zendo space.
