About the Class

“Simply Meditate” is a perfect opportunity to learn different meditations and the basics of a meditation practice. Each class includes two guided 15-minute meditations and instructions that can easily be integrated into daily life.

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike, Simply Meditate helps everyone discover the profound benefits of engaging in meditation and learn how to develop a naturally peaceful, calm and happy mind.

Each class is self contained and on a drop in basis, so there is no need to register in advance or attend the entire series. Chairs are provided and their are meditation cushions for those who wish to sit on the floor.

Meditation Topics

The class loosely follows three meditation CDs that are also available for purchase in our bookstore.

Meditations for Relaxation

The first is a basic breathing meditation that helps to disengage the mind from the busyness of everyday life and create a special feeling of inner peace. The second combines mindfulness of the breath with visualization, or creative imagination, and leads to a deep feeling of inner calm and purity. The third is a special breathing meditation that combines mindfulness of the breath with the recitation of mantra.

Meditations for a Kind Heart

The first is a meditation on cherishing others – thinking that others are important, and that their happiness and freedom are important. The second is a practical meditation on compassion – the sincere wish to protect others from suffering. The third is a practical meditation on love – the sincere wish to give happiness to others.

Meditations for a Clear Mind

The first meditation lays the foundation for meditating on the mind by helping to temporarily overcome physical appearances. The second introduces us to the clarity of our mind, and the third is a meditation on our root mind.
