Course Format
The course is given over three days in 21/2 hour sessions each day. The Art of Meditation Course teaches Sahaj Samadhi Meditation, a graceful and natural meditation that allows the mind to settle naturally into meditation. When the mind settles down it lets go of stress and fatigue
Comments
"After taking the Art of Meditation course I feel an overall improvement in my energy although I sleep much less than I used to. I’m also more present for the everyday moments of my life and in my relationships with friends and family. I find that I’ve become a lot calmer and less reactive to events that would have bothered me before and have even noticed an increase in my creativity.
