SUMMARY:After Enlightenment\, The Laundry (Please read description!)
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n“After enlightenment\, the laundry” is one of my favorite phrases. It’s a terrific reminder that mindfulness meditation is not about escaping life or transcending day-to-day reality\, but about truly LIVING each moment as it unfolds. \n*** This session will be a little different ***\nMany of my most profound insights and shifts have happened OFF the cushion. Meeting via Zoom gives us the opportunity to engage in an off-the-cushion practice … together! \nFor this session\, feel free to engage in a physical chore or other activity during the guided meditation; optimally\, something simple that does not require much active thinking or that would make too much noise to hear the guidance. Many tasks that we normally do on auto-pilot will be perfect; you might fold laundry\, wash dishes\, or do some slow walking. (Or\, if you prefer\, kick it old-school and just sit.) \nWe’ll open with a brief talk as usual\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link: After Enlightenment\, The Laundry \n  \n

SUMMARY:New Year\, New Karma
DESCRIPTION:The concept of karma has gotten a bit twisted across time and space. We won’t have time to delve TOO deeply into this critical pillar of Buddhist teachings\, but we can reframe it to more closely align with its original meaning (which I find to be far more optimistic than our common Westernized interpretation). The new year is always a great time to do so! \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Mindfulness 101: "Am I Doing This Right?"
DESCRIPTION:The dawning of a new year is a great time to get back to basics about what we’re doing — and not doing — as part of a mindfulness meditation practice. This session is an introduction for new practitioners and the merely curious\, as well as an opportunity for experienced (or lapsed 😉 ) meditators to refocus. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Letting 2021 - And Other Things - Go
DESCRIPTION:“Just let it go.” That advice – whether offered with good intention or as a passive-aggressive brush-off – isn’t very helpful. The end of another tumultuous and traumatic year is the perfect time to practice effective ways of ACTUALLY letting go. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

DESCRIPTION:If you’re reading this\, you’ve got some nerve. If you’re thinking of joining us for this session\, you’ve REALLY got some nerve.

SUMMARY:Managing Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:A common challenge in this human experience is that we Don’t. Like. Uncertainty. As much as we want total certainty\, it simply isn’t a thing … so managing the discomfort of not-knowing is a necessary skill for living with greater ease. In this session\, we’ll examine ways to do just that. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:We Are That Which We Seek. Wait\, What?
DESCRIPTION:At a retreat I once attended\, the teacher shared this quote: “we are that which we seek.” During the Q+A at the end\, a young woman in the front row asked what this meant. (The teacher said that he wouldn’t dream of depriving her of the reward of working it out for herself. 🙂 ) I arrived at two of my own conclusions\, which I’ll share at this event. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Forgiveness? Forgive this! (Online event)
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness sounds lovely\, but the process of getting there? Not so much. I’ve worked deeply to navigate this mental and emotional maze amidst shock and betrayal in the past\, and will share the insights that I’ve found most helpful. (Bonus: I’ll also explain the picture choice for this event\, which has a rather caustic double-meaning.) \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Judge Not? (Online event)
DESCRIPTION:Ah\, judgment. Such a loaded term in spiritual circles! Can we ever stop judging ourselves and others? And if not\, can we still … y’know … walk the path? In my experience\, the answer is a resounding YES\, and in this session I will share what brought me to that understanding. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Mindfulness 101: Am I Doing This Right? (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:*** NOTE: This is our return to IN-PERSON events. 😊 (Online events won’t be going away; they will alternate with the in-person events.) *** \nAs we find ourselves in another transition period\, let’s get back to basics about what we’re doing — and not doing — as part of a mindfulness meditation practice.

SUMMARY:Holding Space
DESCRIPTION:Holding space for ourselves is usually the first thing we need and the last thing we do … so when we finally do so\, we discover that we’re not very good at it. Let’s work with some techniques to hone this crucial skill. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:[RESCHEDULED] After Enlightenment\, The Laundry (Please read description!)
DESCRIPTION:— UPDATE: RESCHEDULED FOR JUNE 19 — \nI’ve received many requests to do another one of these\, so here we are. 🙂 \n“After enlightenment\, the laundry” is one of my favorite phrases. It’s a terrific reminder that mindfulness meditation is not about escaping life or transcending day-to-day reality\, but about truly LIVING each moment as it unfolds. \n*** This session will be a little different ***\nMany of my most profound insights and shifts have happened OFF the cushion. Meeting via Zoom gives us the opportunity to engage in an off-the-cushion practice … together! \nFor this session\, feel free to engage in a physical chore or other activity during the guided meditation; optimally\, something simple that does not require much active thinking or that would make too much noise to hear the guidance. Many tasks that we normally do on auto-pilot will be perfect; you might fold laundry\, wash dishes\, or do some slow walking. (Or\, if you prefer\, kick it old-school and just sit.) \nWe’ll open with a brief talk as usual\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting (or not sitting 😉) and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Taming the Overactive Mind
DESCRIPTION:Planning … fretting … ruminating … problem-solving … all at the same time? And all OF the time? \nThat all sounds pretty familiar to this “Type A” guy. Let’s take a look at the mindset that creates this pattern\, and then practice several ways to let it dissolve. \nThis session will follow our usual format: we’ll open with a brief talk\, followed by a 25-minute guided meditation and a Q+A/discussion period. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!

SUMMARY:Inquire Within
DESCRIPTION:There are many common questions about mindfulness and insight meditation practice\, and many of us often feel confused or stuck in the same places. When is the best time to practice? And for how long? And what am I really supposed to be doing? Can I move when my leg falls asleep\, and am I allowed to scratch that itch? Is there more than one right – or wrong – way to practice? Oh\, and by the way … when is it ok to stop? \nLet’s look at clearing some of these up. Have a question you’d like submit? Feel free to drop me a line here on Meetup or via MindfulnessInBlueJeans.com … and we’ll also be having our usual 25-minute guided meditation and Q+A/discussion period\, so you can ask whatever you like during the latter as well. \nPlease RSVP to see the Zoom link. \nI’m looking forward to sitting and sharing with you all once again!
