In this workshop, participants will explore Dharana (one-pointed meditation), which can reduce stress, improve focus, and aid mental clarity. We look forward to sharing this meditative exploration with you.
In these challenging times, one needs all the tools we can get to help manage our complicated lives. Consider meditation as one of those tools. There are many different types of meditation which serve many different goals. In this class, participants will explore Dharana, or One-Pointed Meditation, which, when practiced, will reduce stress, improve focus, and aid mental clarity by encouraging one to stay present.
Learn briefly about the role of meditation in yoga and then try several one-pointed meditations, focusing on a single object such as the breath, a sacred image or image of a loved one, a sound, or a word or group of words, to name a few. We look forward to sharing this meditative exploration with you.
This workshop is free to attend, but space is very limited so make sure to register early. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dena Katz at dkatz@edcjcc.org.
