Wednesday I start a new season of talks on Awakening Insight Meditation at the Lifelong Learning Institute in Midlothian Va. The weekly classes are an hour and a half and run for 15 weeks. I use no lesson plans or notes, nor do I have much of an idea of what Im going to say. So the talks kind of create themselves. I do come with some personal experience that happened during my week that I use as a metaphor to open the can of Insight Meditation in everyday life. When you can use your own everyday as the can opener, you dont have to worry about whats in the can or if the class will enjoy eating it. When you use your own life as the text, you serve yourself in a way that everyone can relate to....since we are all One Self but with many faces. The core practice upon which I thread the class in the guided meditation of Yoga Nidra. This is what the class does at home. Many experience healing effects from the practice. It has been clinically tested to remove many stress disorders of both body and mind. What I do in the class is work on the understanding one needs to support this meditation that make it work for you. LLI (Lifelong Learning Institute) is a membership school for those over 50 held in a restored elementary school (its not far from 288 on Midlothian Blvd. ) Ill usually start a class with anywhere from ten to 20 students. Many keep coming back for the next session. If anyone is in the area I invite you as my guest. You can sign up if you want to come back. The class starts at 2 pm. https://youtube/watch?v=n8utgLPdY1k
