Meditation

Meditation is a journey of self-inquiry. It is a practice that transforms one’s mind through concentrated focus or attention, in order to deepen sense of self, develop awareness within, and observe patterns or habits of the mind. With consistent practice, one will cultivate equanimity, emotional resilience, and a positive state of being. The purpose of this class is to introduce various techniques and methods to help facilitate this process of reflection within and to assist in developing one’s own practice at home. Techniques and methods to explore include breath awareness, basic breathing techniques (pranayama), body sensation, focused gaze, mindfulness, movement, visualization, iRest meditations and more. The instructor is Laura Gibson and the class is held in 217 Eisenhower Hall.

Supplies to bring: Pillow, throw blanket(s), yoga mat, blocks. Some blankets and blocks will be provided, but on a first come, first serve basis. This class is open to all students with various experience with meditation and is beginner friendly.
