Guided Meditation
GuIDED MEDITATION
Guided Meditation is a powerful tool for de-stressing. Clients have said that it helps them to feel simultaneously relaxed and energized, light and grounded, calm and alert.
Guided Meditation not only creates comfort in the moment, it also teaches you to be mindful of your body’s signals. Listening to your body enhances your sense of presence and allows you to use the intelligence of your body as a guide. Your dashboard tells you when your car needs gas. Your body language lets you know when it’s time to lower your stress-o-meter, when it’s time to say, No, and when it’s time to say, Yes.
When you’re more connected with your own bodily sensations, you’re more connected with your own resourcefulness. There’s a part of you that’s bigger than your thoughts, and bigger than your body. A part of you that can think clearly and feel genuinely at the same time. A part of you that’s still okay no matter what’s happening in the world around you. That’s the part of you that you get to know through guided meditation.
Guided Meditation can help you...
· Feel profoundly peaceful, centered, and comfortable
· Relieve anxiety so that you can think more clearly
· Develop confidence in your ability to care for yourself
· Strengthen your coping skills so that you are more resilient
· Listen to your gut, tap into your intuition, and trust your own judgment
Much of our time will be spent in guided meditation, and there will also be time to talk about how our meetings are affecting your life outside the group.

Easy Eyes: I See You. I am Here.
Easy Eyes: I See You. I Am Here.
I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.
—John Steinbeck
The traditional Zulu greeting, Sawabona, translates as I see you. The usual reply is Sikbona, which means I am here. Their greeting is a recognition of each person’s wholeness, dignity, and value. It springs from a human truth—that we become who we are through our interactions with others, through being seen.
This group is about seeing others as they are. It’s about seeing the person who is behind the eyes. It’s about waking up to the world around you and the world within you. It’s about seeing yourself, hearing yourself, and being yourself. Each one of us is bigger than our thoughts, our judgments, and our habitual ways of being and perceiving.
When we don’t allow ourselves to truly see and be seen, we miss out on being connected with the world around us, with others, and even with ourselves. We miss out on enjoying the moment. We miss out on what matters most.
Easy Eyes® is a simple mindfulness practice with many practical applications. It helps you to feel better, think better, and live better. In this group, we’ll be using it for a powerful and direct effect on your relationships with others, and with yourself.
In Our Group, You’ll Learn Skills For…
-- Being present rather than preoccupied.
-- Deepening your connection with others and with yourself.
-- Managing the reactions that arise in difficult conversations.
-- Tapping into the wisdom of your body language.
-- Waking up to the everyday, ordinary pleasures of life.
Our Time Together Will Include…
-- Brief talks using readings, stories, and real-life examples.
-- Guided meditations for integrating your awareness and understanding.
-- Centering practices that will ground you through-out the day.
-- Structured practice of skills that you can use outside the workshop.
-- Time to share how you are using your new skills outside the group.
We're all just walking each other home.
― Ram Dass
