Class 8: Closure & Keeping it Up

by | Sep 2, 2017

This Month’s home practice:*

Continue formal practices: Body Scan, Mindful Yoga, Sitting Meditation, Walking Meditation. Go back to the course recordings if you wish, or find other recordings by different teachers. Keep up the practice and make it your own.

 

Engage, as best you can, in some formal practice each day. If you do not have time for 45 minutes of practice, do something shorter (less formal practices) rather than skipping it entirely. Remember, “A little a lot is better than a lot a little.” Cultivate mindfulness in daily life (informal mindfulness) by paying attention throughout your day. Breathe with awareness.
