A warm welcome to you whether you are tuning in the first week or well into the first term of practice! I am genuinely happy to guide you through meditation practice this term.
Top 10 reminders and norms for practice:
It does not matter if you’ve been meditating for years or this is your first practice. We are all on a life-path, that is what unites us.
The practice is more about the experience and not the intellectual exercise.
If you are not in the room practicing, I invite you to join through zoom. Please have the camera on and say hello but it is ok if you decide you’d rather have it off for the actual practice.
I will wait til 5 min after beginning time to let people enter through waiting room that may be a couple min late. If you miss out, you are welcome to do the practice later.
There will then be a 5 min opening sentiment, intention and short reading shared. I will then proceed to guide you through a 20 min mindful meditation practice based on breath awareness and directing breath toward self-care. Optional 15 min Q and A / discussion and don’t need to feel bad if you want to leave the session after practice (ie group norm).
Deliberate set up - I invite you to create a space whether that is different each week or the same and bring in some indication that you are formally starting practice (This could be as simple as a rock you find outside if you are outside or a special mat, cushion, candle, journal, totem of choice).
I encourage you to have have a seated practice against a wall if accessible but is not required. It’s more about staying alert and relaxed. The support of the wall means that you can focus more on the breath. If you are super tired, feel free to do the practice lying down. It’s more that lying down often results in falling asleep. This is fine and may be the best gift of self-care you can give!
If you need to move, move! Stretch forward, side to side, or do a shake if need to let out some pent up tension. Then, when you can come back to a more still practice if that is accessible. We are learning to have a relationship with our discomforts in life but not add more pain and suffering!
Our own breath is the greatest guide toward our sense of wellbeing.
Anything that comes up for us in the present is there for a reason. We don’t have to shut it away but rather direct our attention where we choose.
Enjoy your practice!
Warmly,
Deb
