The essence of meditation is bringing ourselves back to the present moment and our breath whenever we find ourselves\, thinking\, planning or remembering. How can we achieve this? Present moment awareness is achieved by concentrating on this current breath being inhaled into the body and being exhaled from the body. The present moment is always perfect\, with no anxiety (future planning) and no regrets (reliving the past). With practice\, these moments are strung together until every step\, every movement\, every action is another meditative moment. Join us as we embark on this journey of meditation and serenity. Each month brings a new focus on a different meditative technique or style.\n\nPlease only register once as you will receive the weekly Zoom link for every session in the series. \n\nMeditation and Serenity Overview: This weekly class begins with a 10-minute sharing period during which each participant has the opportunity to briefly share their current state and what joys or sorrows they bring with them. This is followed by 15 minutes of breath-work combined with stretching to heighten sensations\, bring focus out of our minds and into our bodies\, and facilitate our capacity to sit still. Please join the Zoom at 10:00AM if you would like to participate in this portion.\n\nThe 30-minute guided meditation begins with a gong sound on a Tibetan brass singing bowl. During the meditation\, we are guided to focus on the five senses\, which slows the heartbeat\, settles the mind\, evokes feelings of well-being. There will be periods of silence during which a singing bowl is played with an invitation to relax to the sound\, or consider some idea or suggestion. With the sounds of three gongs\, our meditation comes to an end.\n\nNote: No class on Friday\, April 3rd ORGANIZER;CN="Adult Programs":MAILTO:adultprograms@bernardsvillelibrary.org CATEGORIES: CONTACT;CN="Adult Programs":MAILTO:adultprograms@bernardsvillelibrary.org STATUS:CONFIRMED UID:LibCal-16460488 URL:https://events.bernardsvillelibrary.org/event/16460488 X-MICROSOFT-CDO-BUSYSTATUS:BUSY BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT15M ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Reminder END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260313T143000Z DTEND:20260313T150000Z DTSTAMP:20260313T000000Z SUMMARY:Meditation & Serenity DESCRIPTION:There is no such thing as bad meditation.
