You’ve probably found that some of your deepest meditations have been guided ones, where there’s been someone on hand to bring you back gently, over and over again, into the present moment. That voice can also introduce you to new meditation skills, or remind you to tap into skills you’d forgotten you knew. Experiences of meditating on your own might sometimes seem vague and meandering in comparison.

I’ll tell you a secret: some of my best meditations have been those where I’ve been guiding others. Those sits are often my calmness, kindest, and most focused. And that’s because when I’m guiding others, I’m guiding myself as well.

Recently I’ve been experimenting with encouraging my meditation students to be their own meditation guides, using self-talk to lead themselves toward calmness, clarity, and love.

That’s what we’ll be exploring on this half-day workshop. As meditation practitioners we’ll learn to be both teacher and student simultaneously. We’ll learn how to be a wise and kind spiritual friend to ourselves — so that we’re present, responsive, kind, and helpful toward ourselves as we go through the process of settling more deeply into our own experience. And we’ll learn to be receptive to what’s most wholesome within us, allowing it in, trusting it, and allowing ourselves to be guided by our own inner wisdom.

Please note that this is NOT a meditation teacher training course, but a course in developing more skill within your own meditation practice.
