Meditation can be a powerful way to reduce stress. It can also help us to understand and relate to challenging feelings in healthier ways. \nAlong with these possible benefits\, and perhaps most importantly\, meditation offers us the opportunity to learn to be fully present and open to whatever is happening in our own experience\, just as it is. Through this kind attention\, happiness and peace grow in our lives; we learn to be kinder and more accepting of ourselves and bring this awareness into our relationships and the world we share. \nIf you’ve been wanting to learn how to meditate or refresh and renew the meditation practice you already have\, we invite you to join this six-week meditation course to explore the practice of Insight (Vipassana) meditation in a warm\, supportive environment. \nWe will emphasize experiential practice\, including instructions for sitting and walking meditation\, and explore how we can bring this practice of presence into our everyday lives. \nClasses will include time for practice\, talks\, guidance from the teacher\, and plenty of time for sharing and Q&A.

SUMMARY:In Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \n\nIn-Person Course: Wednesdays\, September 20th – November 8th\, 2023 | 9:30am – 12:00pm ET\nIn-Person Daylong: Saturday\, October 28th\, 2023 | 9:30am – 5:00pm ET \n \nLocation: Still Mind Zendo at 37 W 17th St # 6W NYC\n \n\n  \nCourse Description:\nNew York Insight offers ongoing classes in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, the ground-breaking and time-tested\, scientifically researched program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 for the University of Massachusetts Medical School. This transformative course is suited for those coming to meditation for the first time or for experienced meditators who realize they have not yet integrated these practices fully into their lives. The teaching of MBSR at NY Insight is offered by seasoned MBSR teachers\, most of whom are certified by the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness. All of our teachers have decades of meditation practice and study and between them have taught well over 200 cycles of this seminal 8-Week curriculum. \nWhat To Expect:\nMBSR uses meditation\, mindful yoga\, and inquiry/discussion as a way of exploring the habits of the mind to discover how these patterns of reactivity become a major cause of stress and where we could intervene to change them. MBSR helps participants learn to alter their relationship with each moment of their lives and through it derive more joy\, fulfillment\, and meaning from their lives. Classes usually have 25 – 30 participants but may be smaller. The course is experiential: by paying attention to what arises in daily and class practice\, and through exploring the challenges that arise and how these are met\, a supportive and safe container is created for students to feel connected and be inspired. Participants are supported by recorded guided meditations and are expected to practice 30-45 minutes of daily formal meditation as well as various informal practices. \nBenefits of MBSR:\nResearch over the past 38 years indicates that a majority of people who complete this program report a greater ability to cope more effectively with short and long term stressful situations; an increased ability to relax\, lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms; reduction in pain levels and enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain and most importantly a greater energy and enthusiasm for life. Some of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: Practical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\, Methods for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\, Gentle full-body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\, The ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\, The ability to face change and difficult times in your life with greater ease\, Greater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia. \nSome of the Skills People Learn in MBSR Courses: \n\nPractical coping skills to improve the ability to handle stressful situations\nTechniques for being physically and mentally relaxed and at ease\nGentle full body conditioning exercises to strengthen the body and release muscular tension\nThe ability to be increasingly aware of the interplay of mind and body in health and illness\nThe ability to face change and difficult times in life with greater ease\nGreater ability to decrease the physical\, mental and emotional effects of the societal stressors of sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, xenophobia and gender inequity among many other challenges\n\nSliding Scale Course Fee: Sustaining $600 – Base $450\nPlease choose your rate mindfully and be as generous as possible so that NYI can continue to offer financial assistance to those in need of other NYI offerings. It is important when considering this class to make sure your schedule allows you to attend all 8 sessions\, though if a class is missed there are usually concurrent classes which allow for make-up sessions.\nLimited financial aid and payment plans are available. Please contact registration@nyimc.org for more information. \nParticipants may register after the orientation for this class but must still view a recorded orientation\, complete the pre-class questionnaire and arrange a pre-class interview with the teacher.

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: Cultivating Joy in the Refuge of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: Cultivating Joy in the Refuge of Uncertainty\n \nwith Jon Aaron\n \nThursdays\, September 21st – November 16th\, 2023 (skipping November 2nd) | 10:00am – 12:00pm ET\n \nIn-Person Location: New York Zendo at 223 E 67th St in New York\, NY\n \n\n \nWe live in what can be described as a “poly-crisis” moment\, with multiple threats that all seem to be existential: climate change\, numerous wars\, failing democratic norms\, A.I. gone wild\, widening social inequities\, extreme polarization\, etc.  \nMany of us feel this deeply\, physically\, and for some\, very materially as well. Sometimes this compounds the smaller-scale\, yet no less dramatic\, crises in our lives. The mind tumbles into catastrophizing and what some call “horrified anxiety” – a near enemy of karuna\, compassion.  \nIn fact\, every moment is uncertain. The Buddhist tradition tells us that everything arises from causes and conditions. Conditioned things are impermanent and lack any solid\, fixed nature\, which means that everything is always on shaky ground… and\, on the upside\, much is possible. We can experience that non-fixedness as dukkha (suffering)\, but that’s not the end of the story. Non-fixedness is also infinite potential\, possibility\, creativity. \n \nWhen we tap into that\, joy can become part of the experience of uncertainty by loosening our attachment to outcomes and to certainty itself.  \nIn his lifetime\, the Buddha experienced tremendous losses\, genocide\, and the social transformation of the world he knew. It’s possible that all this turmoil contributed to his deep insight. His transformative teachings on emptiness\, karma\, and equanimity have much to offer to our moment.  \nJoin us for a new in-person and online eight-week course with New York Insight Teacher Jon Aaron exploring how we can live with uncertainty\, not from a place of fear but with buoyancy\, curiosity\, and ease. We’ll discover how the teachings provide practical ways of coping with these various threats and how we can cultivate joy in uncertainty instead of battling it in the doomed hope of clinging to certainties that ultimately will not last.\n \nEach class will include meditation practices\, dharma teachings\, and discussion. Some prior meditation experience is required\, as well as some understanding of basic Buddhist teachings. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.
