 Drop-in Meditation Session: Awareness of Breath

 taught by Richard Berger  

Monday, July 10, 2017, 6:00 - 7:00 pm 

 

CCFW is pleased to offer monthly drop-in meditation sessions. A different CCFW instructor will lead each month’s session so that participants can experience different mindfulness practices and instructor styles. These sessions are also intended to support participants from previous mindfulness courses in strengthening their home practice. All levels of experience are welcome.

 

About the Session 

In this session, we will 'share' the mindfulness practice of awareness of breath. This very basic practice has been shown to increase concentration focus, mental clarity, and cause improved function and growth of the executive function, memory, and emotional centers of the brain. Breath awareness also helps one develop the tools and areas of the brain necessary for more advanced mindfulness practices.
