Beginning Meditation Class:
This six week class will teach you how to create stillness, focus on your heartbeat and coordinate it with your breath. We will focus on strengthening concentration, use of the breath and heartbeat. The goal will be to increase physical coherence and well being on every level. The result will be an enrichment and development of your heart, allowing you to address your most pressing life needs.
The In-Person Class will be held on Thursdays, beginning on January 12th and ending February 16th, 2011, at 7:30 p.m., 1153 S Humphrey, Oak Park.
The Online Class will be held on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m., beginning January 12th and ending on February 16th. There are only six spots available for this class.
Energize Your Heart is our textbook, available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, in Kindle format, etc. Before the first class, read the first 123 pages of the text. Subsequent readings are considerably shorter.
Classes run about 90 minutes. No pre-requisite.
We now have four options for attending this class (two are still under construction).
1) Attend the six-week class here in the Oak Park Studio. A second class may be added if there is demand (that will probably be held on Saturday afternoons)
2) Attend the six-week class live through the internet webcast held simultaneously with the class in Oak Park. Only six participants are able to use this option, so it is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. You will need the Internet Explorer or Firefox browser to access this class, as well as a webcam and microphone. A second class will be added as required.
3) Attend the six-week class at your leisure. Classes will be recorded and available to be viewed through access on this website (not yet available).
4) Single class option: attend a live single class at the Oak Park Studio or watch a recorded video for $35 (video not yet available). This is a great way for those new to meditation to test the waters. This fee will be applied to the full course if one decides to go ahead and delve in more deeply.
