Welcome to Meditation
We invite you to join our meditation group at 10:30, prior to Sunday morning services in the Sun Room. Explore with us guided, music, silent, walking and other forms of meditation. These forms of mindfulness meditations encourage us to live in the moment and reinforce daily practice. Arriving early and participating in this practice will enhance your Sunday morning experience and, you will soon realize its many benefits.
“Whether practicing together as a family, a Sangha, or a nation, we have so many opportunities to grow in our capacity to understand and to love. Each moment and each day is an opportunity to begin anew, to open the door of our hearts, and to practice together for our own transformation and healing and for the transformation and healing of our families and our world. Practicing together in this way, we are discovering the path of living peacefully in the present moment and living joyfully together.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
A Simple Meditation
Breathe, and you know…
Breathe and you know that you are alive
Breathe and you know that all is helping you
Breathe and you know that you are the world
Breathe and you know that the flower is breathing too
Breathe for yourself and you breathed for the world
Breathe in compassion and breathe out joy.
Breathe and be one with the air that you breathe
Breathe and be one with the river that flows
Breathe and be one with the earth that you tread
Breathe and be one with the fire that glows
Breathe and you break the thought of birth and death
Breath and you see impermanence is life.
Breathe for your joy to be steady and calm
Breathe for your sorrow to flow away
Breathe to renew every cell in you blood
Breathe to renew the depth of consciousness
Breathe and you dwell in the here and now
Breathe and all you touch is new and real.
Concluding
Breathe in …you are arriving.
Breathe out…you are home.
