Hello Friends,
We often use the phrase 'stopping, resting, calming, looking deeply.' What is stopping? Who is it that is 'resting and calming,' and how do we 'look deeply?.'
We will do things a little differently at this Day of Mindfulness so that each of us can look into our questions and needs, as we practice 'stopping, calming, resting and looking deeply.'
Our schedule will include both morning and afternoon periods of a lying down total relaxation exercise; a period of self-guided practice; the opportunity for individual interviews with David.
And we continue with our basic practice of breath awareness as we have sitting and walking meditation; mindful movements; eating together in mindfulness and Dharma Sharing.
Schedule [Subject to Change]: 10:00am-4:30pm
10:00-10:45am: Mindful Movements/Sitting Meditation/Walking Meditation
10:50: 11:20: Lying down body awareness/relaxation
11:30-12:30: Personal Practice: each person decides what mix of sitting, walking, movement he/she needs [in silence].
12-12:30: Brief Individual Consultations with David about your practice. [Optional]
12:45-1:15: Outdoor Walking [If bad weather, than Dharma Sharing]
1:20-2:15-Lunch/Rest
