Some of the Topics included: How to work with a “chattering mind;” learning to befriend thoughts and feelings, rather than being pulled around by them. How to work with the breath to focus one’s attention and deepen relaxation. How to work with difficult emotions - fear, anger, sadness, etc. This program is ongoing, and takes place Wednesday mornings from 9:45-11:00 am. The cost is free. No prior registration required.
