Meditation

Meditation classes introduce students to a variety of (mostly Eastern) practices. Students soon find a method unique to their own personality that they can use for the rest of their lives.

These techniques are more than just classroom exercises. They include field trips, walks in the park, discussions, and a variety of other methods that make them fun.

Some practices that are discussed and taught are:

Ajapa Japa: Watching the breath
Japa Yoga: Repeating of a number of syllables. Mantra Recitation, of which Transcendental Meditation is an example.
Visualization: Focusing on one image
Traitak: Gazing meditation
Metta Bhavana: Loving-Kindness Meditation
Vipassana: Insight meditation
Vedantic Meditation: Non-duality of the soul and the divine. Images and colors and chants often sung, are used in focusing on qualities of the divine.
Walking Meditation such as within a meditation labyrinth.
Karma Yoga: Mindfulness meditation
Be strong then and enter into your own body; There you have a solid place for your feet. Think about it carefully! Don't go off somewhere else! Kabir says this: just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, And stand firm in that which you are. Kabir (born 1398, a mystic poet and saint of India)
