Meditations for Relaxation

A Meditation Series at KMC Texas

In-Person or Online for Streaming Pass Members

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

Do you find yourself stressed out and wanting to experience a more peaceful life?

All of us want to be happy and free from stress all the time. Normally, we believe that by simply improving our external conditions, we can be truly happy. However, if our mind is not peaceful, we will never be happy even if our external conditions are ideal.

By practicing meditation patiently, over time we learn that it’s possible to experience inner peace and contentment just by controlling the mind. When the turbulence of our mind subsides and it becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within. This feeling helps us to cope with the busyness and difficulties of daily life and have a more relaxed and less stressful experience.

Join us for a series teaching how to practice meditations for relaxation and a peaceful mind.
