MONDAY - Meditation ZOOM

About this event

Meditation ZOOM on next Monday Join in from 7:15pm, we start at 7:30pm. Sajhu-Paul will be leading an online partly GUIDED and mostly SILENT meditation. In our practice we aim to assist participants by offering different styles of meditation from time to time. These are mostly of Buddhist origin but can include other sources. Each Monday there is the opportunity for you to develop and maintain your meditation practice by sharing with regular meditators across Australia. The sessions usually start with an inspirational short talk or meditation from a recognised teacher. Recent topics have included Emptiness, Serendipity, Power, Perception, Joy, Connection, Attachment and Love. After that the formal meditation will include some guided but mostly silent meditation. You may join in anonymously or not. We usually finish with a feedback session which is also voluntary. In all our weekly meditation sessions, we provide a place to be inspired by and to learn about and practice with others, the incorporation of meditative mindfulness and peace into our daily lives. It is suitable for all levels. DATES: This Zoomed only meditation is usually on every Monday at the same time. See the Meetup calendar and postings for all events and dates.
