Description:
Join Ralph Frank for a weekly meditation focused on relaxation and wellbeing. There will be guided meditations based on the Mindfulness of Breathing Meditation that was the favourite meditation of the Buddha that has been passed down through the millennium. Suitable for both beginners and those looking to deepen or broaden their meditation experience. You will learn a short meditation that can be introduced into daily life for the purposes of reducing stress and facing difficult challenges. Instructor: Ralph Frank is a retired psychotherapist who has been practicing Mindful Meditation since 2003. Ralph has studied with renowned Buddhist monks and nuns at monasteries in Northern Thailand, as well as with numerous international teachers in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. In his classes Ralph brings the essential teaching of the Buddha into an easy to understand exercise in meditation for the Western mind. As part of his classes, Ralph will teach practical steps to develop a short meditation practice that will bring a pause to an overactive mind, and a sense of being in love with this moment just as it is.
