After years of teaching meditation in workshops, classrooms, and one on one settings, I have come across many students who say they have tried meditation and it didn't "work" for them. After diving deeper we discover that so many people fall victim to the over simplified, "one size fit all" exposer to meditation. The reality is there are many style of meditation that can include, dancing, singing, drumming, praying, walking, crying, laughing, standing, laying down, or of course the one was all think of, sitting in lotus in silence. Most of my work as a teacher is helping people discover what style of meditation is right for them when different situations arise. For instance if you are anxious or depressed, I would never recommend going straight to sitting in a silent meditation. This can cause the mind to ruminate even more leaving you feeling worse than when you first sat down.
In this series we break down different styles of meditation and what situations in our life each might serve. This is a great course for beginners looking to start a new meditation practice or for those who feel like what that have been doing no isn't serving their current life situation and are looking for something new.
Hope you enjoy!
