September 2014 Return to Ryerson’s LIFE INSTITUTE

May 3, 2014 By Grace Sakoma

NEW POST — June 2014

I’m returning to Ryerson’s Life Institute in September 2014, for an 8-week session of LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE AND YOUR BRAIN. I think we’ll be starting on Tuesday morning, Sept. 23, but check with the LIFE INSTITUTE.

I’m extending the sessions by two weeks so that we can strengthen our practice, learn more skills and techniques, and focus on developing daily habits to enhance mindfulness, find inner peace and contentment, and understand how we get triggered.

I learned a lot from last winter’s Ryerson sessions, and I will be bringing back some of the scientists and guests who enlightened us with their knowledge and insights. I keep on being amazed at how naturally most people take to my guided meditation. All you have to do is sit in a chair, close your eyes,  breathe and follow my voice. It’s easy. We’re building neural structures, opening neural pathways, and nourishing our brain.

IF YOU’RE A MEMBER OF THE GRANITE CLUB, I will be leading sessions there for 4 weeks in November, 2014.

IF YOU WANT TO START A MEDITATION GROUP DOWNTOWN, I have space to work with one more group. My long-running home group — nearly four years — is going strong. We’re gratified by the transformations we feel within ourselves and see among our fellow meditators. It’s a great gift we give each other: our concentration, our commitment to being present in the moment and holding the space for each other.
