What happens to the quality of our lives when daily life and formal meditation practice are lived with open awareness in the here and now? In this practice group, we will use Larry Rosenberg's book Three Steps to Awakening: A Practice of Bringing Mindfulness to Life to develop a flexible and responsive approach to meditative living that leads toward wholeness and well-being.
The three-phase method presented in Larry’s book is deceptively simple and can be worked with for a lifetime:
Whole-body breath awareness;
Breath as a support to explore a wider range of life; and
Choiceless awareness, simply being with things as they are.
This program is appropriate for both new and experienced meditators of all levels of experience. Sessions will include formal meditation practice, time for discussion, reflections, and questions.
