Description
Get Mindful for the Holidays is an opportunity to slow down during the chaos of the season. It’s ideal for those who have never meditated and those who already practice. Six 30-minute sessions include a combination of lecture and guided meditation and cover different topics and paths to mindfulness.
Session 1 | November 1 – Presence: “Don’t Just Do Something, Sit There!”
To experience conscious presence, we need to get out of “doing” mode and into “being” mode. This session focuses on the breath as a gateway to the present moment and includes a breath/body awareness meditation.
Session 2 | November 8 – Peace: Slow Down When There’s Chaos All Around
Slowing down and quieting the mind can open your attention to what’s happening around you and the wisdom inside of you. This session focuses on relaxing into the experience of peace during chaos and includes a grounding/mountain meditation.
Session 3 | November 15 – Compassion: “Go Only as Fast as Your Slowest Part Feels Safe to Go”
It can be difficult to be kind and compassionate to ourselves and others when we’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed. This session focuses on cultivating seeds of compassion by practicing gentleness and includes an opening/lake meditation.
Session 4 | November 22 – Gratitude: “It Could Always Be Worse”
It’s sometimes easier to focus on what’s missing in our lives than to appreciate the good. This session focuses on opening your heart to the abundance in life and includes a gratitude/loving-kindness meditation.
Session 5 | December 6 – Joy: Accepting What Is
There’s no detour around life’s challenges, so it’s important to learn how to relax into the present moment, accept what is, and find joy where you are. This session focuses on exploring the joy of "being" to get through tough times and includes a relaxing sigh/humming meditation.
Session 6 | December 13 – Light: Shine Brightly
The start of winter can bring feelings of sadness as the days are shorter and the light of spring seems distant. This session focuses on trusting your inner light to shine brightly in the darkness and includes a rhythm/tapping meditation.
