10/4 30-Minute Guided Meditation with Terry Mares

You change your world, when you change your mind.

Meditation does not require you to stop your thoughts from flowing.

We have 60,000-80,000 thoughts a day, and our goal is not to stop our mind from doing what the mind does.

Just as our lungs breathe and our hearts beat- our mind thinks.
Instead, our only goal when we “sit”, is to cultivate the ability to disengage from the ongoing conversation.

A meditation practice allows us to disconnect from the stress in our lives by grounding ourselves in the present moment.

It offers us the opportunity to stop dwelling in ruminations about yesterday and worries about tomorrow.

Join us and learn techniques that will help you take a step back and walk through life more softly.

Each week we gather together as a community and explore different forms of meditation, breath and a mindful approach to life.

Class will be led by Terry Mares

Terry Mares has followed a daily, dedicated meditation  practice since March 2016. He came to mindfulness in an effort to lessen the effects of anger, frustration, and  anxiety, which he thought were becoming out of control.  Since he established his practice, he has learned to respond as opposed to react. That has resulted in not only making  him calmer and patient, but also more focused. Terry is very passionate about sharing meditation and mindfulness as a way to reduce stress and create a more balanced life.  Besides  mindfulness, Terry loves a wide variety of music, gardening, and he is a proud Chicago sports fan.
