Introduction to Buddhist Meditation     A Beautiful World From Within      

Diversified Health Clinic, at The Mosaic 1063 Fort Street, Victoria, BC    with Rebecca Hanson

Introduction to Buddhist Meditation

Introduction to Buddhist Meditation is designed for people who have busy schedules and who want to make quick progress toward a happier and more peaceful life. Each 60 minute class is designed to bring our mind to a peaceful state. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort and so we will experience true happiness and relaxation.  But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy and relaxed even if we are living in the very best conditions.

 Each class includes guided meditation, practical instruction and discussion. These classes are suitable for everyone, whether new to meditation or looking to deepen your meditation experience. We meditate sitting on chairs, but you are welcome to bring your own mat and/or cushion if you prefer.
