SUMMARY:The Health of the Mind
DESCRIPTION:with Carol Cano  \nBuddhist teachings are not a religion\, they are a science of mind.  \n—The Dalai Lama \nWe will explore a genuine approach towards happiness and peace at a time in human history that is undeniably chaotic and leaning towards the brink of madness. What copings skills are helping us manage conflict\, stress\, fears and the nonstop pressure of society as a whole? The Buddha presented a map for “awakening inner freedom of the spirit and liberation of the heart from entanglements in unhealthy states”. We will cultivate practices recognizing and let- go of unhealthy states.  \nThis half-daylong is open to all levels of practice especially new practitioners to the dharma. We will be exploring the dharma and mindfulness meditation as healthy tools for coping and moving more towards equanimity.  \nSpace is limited and registration is requested. REGISTER HERE \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events. However\, EBMC is not independently funded.

SUMMARY:Beginning a Meditation Practice
DESCRIPTION:with Mushim Ikeda \nPart of East Bay Meditation Center’s Core Buddhist Teachings – 5 Month Curriculum \nAre you looking for a way to start a mindfulness meditation practice\, but don’t quite know how? These classes will give you the basics of stationary and walking/gentle movement meditation in the vipassana (insight) style\, and metta (loving kindness or good will) meditation. Don’t worry about “getting it right” – if you can sit – on a folding chair\, on floor cushions\, in a wheelchair – or lie down – and breathe\, you’re off to a good start! This series is for those seeking stress reduction\, or it can be the gateway to those new to Buddhism. Meditation can help you\, over time\, to develop a sense of increased physical well-being\, mental clarity\, compassionate connection\, and spiritual growth.  \nSpace is limited and registration is requested. Register HERE. \nCost: There is no registration fee for attending this event\, nor most EBMC events. However\, EBMC is not independently funded.
