Designing Your Meditation
How to successfully Establish, Maintain, or Deepen Your Practice
Do you meditate, but feel stuck or confused? Not sure if you are “doing it right?” Do you want to meditate, but can’t figure out how to get started, or keep getting off track? Do you have a meditation plan? Do you know the difference between meditation styles? Do you know if you are doing the “right” meditation to achieve your goals? This workshop will help you answer these questions and develop a clear path for your meditation practice.
NeuroMeditation takes a brain-based approach and understanding that all meditations are not the same. Each meditation style can be defined by the ways attention and intention are used, the way the brain is activated, and the brain regions that are involved. This workshop will walk you through the process of identifying which style of meditation is most likely to help you achieve your specific goals. You will gain a clear understanding and experience of each of the 4 meditation styles and establish a clear meditation plan of action.
