About Our Meditation: The aim of the meditation taught in our classes, in which we sit and focus on the breath, is to eliminate the omnipresent stress and anxiety of everyday life. People are often surprised to find it is difficult to meditate and to understand and apply the insights that arise from meditation. The difficulty lies in the fact that our whole being is totally unprepared for insights and stillness. But with the support of instruction and a tuning of a regular practice, the calm and joy of your meditative mind appears and develops, not only on the cushion, but also off the cushion in your daily life.
