Our deepest meditations are often guided ones. It helps to have someone on hand to interrupt our mind-wandering and to bring us back gently, over and over, into the present moment. A skilled guide can also introduce us to new skills or remind us to tap into skills we know but have forgotten to employ.

In recent years I’ve encouraged my meditation students to use self-talk to lead themselves toward calmness, clarity, and love—to learn to be their own source of guidance. 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.

Note: Although this is not a teacher-training course, it will be very helpful for anyone who finds themselves leading others in meditation.
