Meditation Basics Workshop
Meditation is our attempt to discover our inner self, a place beyond the usual workings of the intellectual mind. When we experience real meditation we become aware of the infinite within and our own unexpected wealth of divine qualities like peace and inner joy. Many people may have had glimpses of meditation unconsciously. For example whilst walking through nature and being awed by its beauty and magnitude. Others may have been moved by sublime music. At such moments our mind becomes still and we feel a sense there is something greater beyond our usual perceptions. As mysteriously as it came, such experiences may leave, giving only a fleeting glimpse of a feeling that is hard to describe. Meditation is an attempt to make such experiences permanent and also deepen and expand our own consciousness.
People may take up meditation for a variety of reasons which could just be curiosity, a desire for more relaxation, peace of mind, or help in sleeping. Others may take to meditation from a feeling of disenchantment with the outer life. If practiced with sincerity and regularity, meditation can give us relaxation and peace of mind but it can also offer more than we ever expected. Through meditation we can expedite our soul’s inner journey and we can become more aware of our own spiritual dimension.
This Basics Meditation Workshop is for individuals looking to learn in-depth, hands-on techniques to integrate meditation into their daily lives. It’s easy to become mired in day-to-day life filled with work, family, relationships, stress and worry. Meditation can help us to break out of our patterns of negative emotions, and allows us to find peace no matter what is going on around us.
During this workshop we will use learn and practice effective mind focus and meditation techniques. We will also learn how to use binural beats with headsets and will finish with a shamanic journey. Mats cushions and pillows are welcome.
The workshop will be taught by our studios lead instructor and advanced Vipassana mediator Dan Cicconi. Dan has been practicing yoga since 2008 & teaching yoga since 2009. Yoga has provided him with the tools and balance he needed to lose massive amounts of weight saving his life from obesity. He's attempted to push past the mental & physical limits of his practice working in Peru and attending many meditation retreats expanding his awareness field. As a Yoga practitioner & instructor he attempts the hard work of awareness & equanimity. Providing his students with a challenging yet very safe immediate moment experience is always paramount to his teaching style.
Dan teaches Multiple Style Asana/Vinyasa Flow Beginner/All Level/Advanced Postures using a Yang or Yin energetic approach. This also includes but is not limited to, Meditation, Core Strengthening, Muscle Fiber Activation & Breathing Exercises.
Dan's meditation teaching lineage traces back 2500 years ago to Gautama Buddha and his yoga teaching lineage traces back to Lahiri Mahasaya who lived from 1828 to 1895.
