Learn how to practice mindfulness meditation.

Daily meditation will help you to get out of your head and into the present moment.

It will give you some space between you and your mental phenomena, allowing you to observe what is happening without falling into it completely.

It will show you that you are not your thoughts, rather that you are the thing having those thoughts. Knowing this is one thing, but experiencing it is quite another. Over time, and with practice, you will learn that for yourself.

It has helped me to think clearer and handle various life situations and interactions better. It has increased my ability to stay on task and avoid distractions of all kinds.

In this course you will learn how to mindfully meditate and to establish it as a daily practice in your life.

The class project will be a seven-day meditation journal, where you will note down your progress, your successes and any challenges you faced, receiving feedback from myself and your fellow students.
