4 FORMS OF MEDITATION
We will explore in depth the 4 different kinds of meditation — concentration, mindfulness, seer, and loving kindness. Each has its own technique and effect. We will discuss and practice each. PRACTICE It is one thing to understand meditation intellectually, and another to sit quietly with your mind, engaging in these techniques. This 4 day immersion emphasizes the actual practice of meditation, not just discussion. BREATHING/PRANAYAMA The breath is a powerful tool to focus the mind. We will do a moderate amount of pranayama — breath control — to prepare for meditation and set ourselves up for success. HISTORY & NEUROSCIENCE Meditation has a long history that informs its purpose and practice. When applicable, we will discuss where it comes from, including the traditions of Buddhism and Vedanta. Also, modern neuroscience is increasingly studying the impacts of these practices. We will explore the known neurological effects of meditation. |
