Answers From Within Meditation Workshop

---

 Learn to connect with  your inner-self for answers, direction and guidance for your life  through a combination of meditation and journaling.

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years.  It is recently regaining popularity because of the amazing benefits to your health and well-being.

There are lots of classes and workshops for meditation available.  Most only focus on your breath or being mindful/clearing your mind.  For most of us, this seems an impossible task and we end up feeling that we are unable to properly meditate, leading to a feeling of failure.

Answers From Within is a different approach to meditation.  We help you learn to use meditation as a tool to coach and guide you through your life.  We use breathwork to help calm the parasympathetic (fight or fligh/stress and anxiety) system.  We help you learn to examine the thoughts (inner messages) that you simply can't get rid of to discover what your inner or higher self is trying to tell you through a guided process of self-awareness and journaling.

The workshop is broken down into 4 levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Magi) of 5 weeks each.  Workshop sessions can be taken individually but it is recommended that you take a complete 5 week series to gain the maximum benefit.  

The series will meet each week on Thursday evenings.  Each meeting will include some discussion, a guided meditation, journaling time and an optional group share.

We ask all participants to bring a notebook or journal, pen or pencil and whatever will make you comfortable on the carpeted floor (mat, blanket, pillow, water, etc.) as well as an open mind.  Workshop will be very casual so dress comfortably.

Each session is $20 or you can get the series for $80 (one free session!).  

Sessions will run approximately 90 minutes in beginner and will gradually expand to 2 hours to gain maximum benefit in the more advanced sessions.
