Mindfulness Meditation: October-November, 2010

Mindfulness Meditation Instruction

by
Joan Pfeiffer, LCSW-C Six Wednesday evenings 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Oct. 6th through Nov. 10th, 2010

Mindfulness Meditation is a method that allows one to rest in full awareness of the present moment. Most of our thoughts focus on the past or future. As a result, we miss the vividness and vitality of what is right in front of us and our five senses.
Although not a substitute for psychotherapy, mindfulness practice can be a valuable adjunct to therapy. This is not group therapy. No personal disclosure is required.

The classes will be mostly experiential. You will have the opportunity to practice mindfulness through traditional (non-religious) sitting meditation, the "body scan," and mindful walking. In addition, you will learn how to bring mindfulness into everyday life situations. Suggestions for further reading and practice at home will be included. No previous experience is necessary.

Joan Pfeiffer, LCSW-C has been practicing meditation for more than a decade and looks forward to sharing the benefits of mindfulness with you.

For further information, please give her a call at 410-938-8463.
