Artist Colony Meditation Series #1

August 10, 2011

I was really surprised when I arrived at the Artist Colony to teach my Meditation class.
The flier that was put out had announced that I was a hypnotherapist.
The group was more interested in hypnosis than meditation.
I was scheduled 1 hour for the class and I sent the whole time answering questions on what it was like to be hypnotized.
It was great fun, most of the questions were on past life regression.
Could I hypnotize the whole group at the same time?
What was it like to have a past life regression?
One of the women kept us entertained with her experiences and as it turns out she was the Transcendental Meditation instructor who was also teaching at the Colony.
This gave me the opportunity to ask some questions too.
It seems she has been practicing TM for a number of years and had decided to teach a class of her own. It is on a volunteer bases and she explained that it was quite simple.
Based on chanting and meditation.
Most of the time it is a group therapy and the members of the colony are pretty open to the whole processes.
I’m looking forward to next week’s class, maybe this time we’ll have some time to do some meditation.

Artist Colony Meditation Series Introduction

This is the first in a series of posts I will be making over the following six weeks.

I have been recently scheduled to teach Meditation Classes at an Active Senior Center.
I thought it would be interesting to report what was taught and the results of each class
The Artist Colony series of  meditation classes is a six week class. 
It will be nice to see how the Seniors at the Artist Colony react to the information I plan to present to them.
The class will cover the effects of stress on our minds and bodies.
There will be instructions on different ways to use our breath to relax and how to use meditation daily, even on the most busy, stressful days.
This weekly report will  include what was taught and the Guided Meditation I used to demonstrate the relaxing effects of meditation and show them how they can train their minds to respond to these relaxation effects.
The first class will be on August 10th, 2011

 I'm excited to see the transformations.
