Like a sprinter working to bring down her times with regular practice, most of us in the west are bringing down the time it takes to get derailed. It’s exactly what we’re practicing for— preoccupied minds, wounded hearts, and impatient urges to act immediately. Whew! That can be overwhelming just to read?! Isn’t there a way to train for something better?Our lives are filled with busy, unexamined habits. Maybe you’ve noticed that these habits, left unchecked, can lead to cut off relationships, addictive habits, feeling overwhelmed or a general loss of inspiration. Contemplative mindful practices, just 20 minutes a day, can help expose these habits and offer awareness to rewire our thinking. Neuroscience now confirms that 50 days of such a practice can change the grey matter in your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that regulates knee-jerk reactions and anger, as well as opens neural pathways across hemispheres of the brain accessing imagination and authentic compassion.Learn these practices in a small group that will offer weekly discussion, a safe place of discovery, and facilitation that helps “demystify” the work, while integrating it with your everyday challenges around work, family, and community. Participants should expect to spend 20 minutes a day working on the practices explored in class. “Despite what you may have heard, meditation is a simple, secular, scientifically validated exercise for your brain. Meditation is also, by the way, a radical act. You’re breaking a lifetime’s habit of walking around in a fog of projection and rumination and you’re actually focusing on what is happening right now.”— Dan Harris Meditation 101: A Beginner's Guide Animation This class is made possible by a grant from the Trust for Meditation Process.Troy Bronsink is Founder/Director of the Hive. He is a spiritual director, published author, facilitator and minister from the Protestant, Presbyterian Christian lineage.
