Breathe

A Three Week Meditation Series in Fort Worth, Texas

Mondays from 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
In-Person Only

Feel free to drop in at any point in the series. Everyone is welcome!

Note: There will be no class on August 5.

So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and many of the problems we experience, including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this stress. Just by doing breathing meditation for 10 or 15 minutes each day we will be able to reduce this stress.

When the sea is rough, sediment is churned up and the water becomes murky, but when the wind dies down, the mud gradually settles, and the water becomes clear. In a similar way when the otherwise incessant flow of our distracting thoughts is calmed through concentrating on the breath, our mind becomes unusually lucid and clear.

Join us in August for a series on the simple yet powerful practice of meditating on the breath. This class is great for beginners or experienced practitioners.

What to expect:

  • Classes are approximately 1-1/4 hours long.
  • Classes include two guided meditations and a talk on Buddhism for everyday living.
  • Occasionally Q&A is offered at the end of the class.
  • Although part of a series, each class is self-contained so you can check out any single class or jump into the series midstream.
