Cyndi will teach mindfulness meditation as the foundation for cultivating self-knowledge and confidence in our own goodness, insight and compassion.
Buddhist teachings say that the ground of our being is unconditional wisdom and compassion. But we don’t always recognize this in ourselves or others, because of habits such as mental discursiveness, grumpy inner critic, fear, discouragement, or lack of focus.
Shamatha, (Sanskrit for Mindfulness meditation) has been taught for over 2,500 years and offers a simple, yet profound technique for helping us connect to our inherent strength, stability and clarity.
Mindfulness Meditation 101 is open to people who have never meditated before, as well as meditators who would like to deepen and refresh their practice.
