Meditation Sessions
What does a session look like?
- Our sessions will help you identify a baseline awareness of your breath patterns and body patterns. We typically begin with very simple, intuitive movements to prepare the body and begin deepening the breath (no mat required!). We'll choose a point of focus ahead of time, and then Zel will guide a meditation based on that point of focus (concentration).
- Reflection is important — it can be easy to forget what meditation teaches us if we don't record it somehow. Zel encourages bringing a journal or other accessible record-keeping device to help you record important information that came through as a consequence of the practice.
There are many different types of meditation, through which we experience meditation as a practice, not a goal.
Meditation is
- the passive state reached as a consequence of one-pointed focus
- a state in which our awareness is no longer impacted by the senses
- a total connection with Pure Consciousness
- typically experienced via Concentration practices after Preparation practices!
- focusing on the inhale and exhale
- focusing on an object
- visualization
- chanting sanskrit mantra or an affirmation
- and more!
- breath-centered movement (e.g. asana)
- purification
- and more!
