"Mindfulness and Meditation allow us to open our hearts, relax our bodies, and clear our minds enough to experience the vast, mysterious, sacred reality of life directly. With Practice we come to know for ourselves that eternity is available in each moment.

"Imagine all the people living life in Peace..."
               --John Lennon, 
"Imagine"    


My partner Betsy came into the kitchen with tears in her eyes yesterday morning.  "Oh that poor boy.  He had such a sweet face.  What happened to him?  Such a tortured soul!!"

I quickly learned that she, like many of us, had been on the web following the events in Boston, trying to make sense of the senseless acts of violence that had erupted.  Like most of us, she a felt a deep grief as the drama unfolded.  Like few of us, perhaps, she felt a deep compassion--not only for the victims of the horror--but for the two tortured souls that somehow believed that violence was the "right thing to do." The "poor boy" of her lament, was the younger brother, Dzhokar Tsarnaev.  She had just seen his photograph.

Returns to Monday, April 1
--No Fooling!


Monday Morning Mindfulness will return to Monday mornings on April 1 at 7 AM!

Making the time and space to practice on a regular basis at the beginning of the workweek
can be an excellent way to "begin anew" each week.

Join us at 7 or 8 or 9 AM! Leave when you need to!

••••NEWS BULLETIN••••••••••••••••••••




Monday Morning MIndfulness will take place on TUESDAY MORNINGS during the month of March 2013 to make space for Nick Marchese's twice weekly Yoga Class: Mondays and Fridays at 7 AM at Community Yoga.

 

So, this month we either will suspend the usual constraints of conventional time and space and continue to call it Monday Morning MIndfulness--or, perhaps, in an effort to be more accurate while maintaining my beloved alliteration call it Morning MIndfulness Meditation....A rose is a rose, is a rose.....

The format continues: I'll be there from 7 until 10 AM. I aim to begin a sitting period around the top of the hour at 7, 8, and 9 and will adjust to the needs of those gathered as best we can. You are free to come and leave at any point as we alternate between Sitting Meditation, Walking Meditation, Light Yogic Stretching-- and, sometimes, Conversation. Beginners and experienced practicioners are welcome.

Donations are appreciated, but not required. All proceeds will go to Community Yoga!

Monday Morning Mindfulness Is On!

Monday Morning Mindfulness will take place this Monday, November 12. The official observance of Veteran's Day for many, I think it's fitting to spend time continuing our cultivation of an Open Heart and Mind in our quest for Peace. Hope you can join me.
One Love,
