Meditations for Busy Modern Minds

Class Description

Have you always wanted to meditate, but felt you can’t get ‘quiet’ enough in your head to do it successfully? Have you tried to meditate in the past but felt defeated or embarrassed that your mind wants to chatter or chase lines of thought or dialog (or commercial jingles!?) through the whole thing? Do you feel you have to be religious or ‘evolved’ to gain any benefit from meditation, and you don’t identify with a spiritual tradition? Then this class is for you! In our busy modern world, we are feeling ever more distracted, and our attention is fragmented by all the inputs around us, both those we choose and those that seem thrust upon us by an algorithm, work, the news, or society in general. Please know that everyone is feeling this! Despite these shared challenges, everyone can reach a meditative state, despite our Tik Tok attention spans, busy lives, overwhelm, neurodivergence, or anything else you may have felt made a meditation practice impossible. In this beginner meditation class, we will interactively discuss: 1. What meditation is 2. Identify several types of meditations and how to choose ones for your particular needs, tastes or goals, and 3. Meditate in real time, in class, in a guided and supportive atmosphere. Meditations will be presented in simple ways you can re-create on your own, that have a low barrier to entry. There will be no pressure to perform or participate or share if that is not wanted, and YES, you can turn your camera off if you feel like people would be watching you! (that is a common distraction or concern I have found over many years of teaching meditations). Rachel will lead the class in several short, user-friendly meditations in every session. All you have to do is close your eyes and listen to several types of meditations: breathing meditations, guided imagery, healing and grounding meditations, focusing meditations, multidimensional meditations, quick meditations as energetic first aid when you are emotional or physically overwhelmed, and more! Students who attend all four classes (or who review the recorded Zoom class) will receive a Certificate of Completion for the "MEDITATIONS FOR BUSY MODERN MINDS" course from The Rocky Mountain Academy of Energetic Arts. All four classes must be reviewed in order to receive class certificate. ***PLEASE NOTE: This class is LIVE at 6pm PT / 7pm MT / 8pm CT / 9pm ET*** By clicking "Book Now / Pay Now", I understand that my tuition is non-refundable.
