Art and Practice of Meditation for Healing and Transformation

Wednesdays, May 5, 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16, 2010; 6:30-8:30 p.m. (no class on May 12)
Everett, Downtown (see maps)
Jamal will be teaching this course, which is a theoretical and experiential understanding of spiritual meditative practices, breathing techniques and sound vibrations to relax and energize the body, calm the mind, soften emotional wounds and tap into our innate capacity to experience joy and contentment. Besides drawing on the extensive scientific research on the brain, biofeedback and the relaxation response, we shall study and explore from various traditions the subtle energy systems of the body, power of the subconscious and the effects of breathing exercises and sound vibrations on our emotions. The goal is to create for oneself a set of practices best suited to one's individual's needs and aspirations. For more info, click here.
