Meditation Classes In Toms River NJ
What is meditation in Toms River NJ? Meditation practice is about learning to be aware of what's going on in the present moment and to maintain that awareness regardless of the mind's tendency to wander. The mind is naturally creative and has the ability to latch on to errant thoughts that easily give rise to daydreaming and distractions and run with them. Through our practice, we learn that we can be aware of these distractions and remain present nonetheless. We can choose to not run with them but sit with them for a time.
Everyone is welcome to our meditation classes in Toms River NJ
The classes are suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators. The classes are easy to follow and do not need prior knowledge or experience. Participants should wear comfortable clothes, and bring a yoga mat and any other tools needed to sit comfortably for an hour's practice.
