Healing Stress through Balance and Meditation Workshop

Saturday was the workshop on healing stress through balance and meditation.  I felt so rich to have had the opportunity to share a very meaningful part of my life with this group of beautiful, open-minded people who are committed to a more peaceful path.  We tasted a variety of meditation techniques, trying them out so people could find which one resonated best with them.  One of the things we practiced was meditation on a rose.  It was interesting to see how we all take a different approach to experience and perception.  Some focused on the smell, others the delicate feeling of the flower, others the intricate petal patterns, and still others on the whole life cycle of the rose.  It should have been a longer day.  It was only two hours.  I thought at first that two hours for a beginning meditation workshop might seem very long, but that wasn’t the case at all.  Well, there will be more to come, and next time, I plan on covering less with more time for savoring and for questions.
