SUMMARY:Online: The Healing Gift Of Being With What Is
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Healing Gift Of Being With What Is \n \nwith Lani Miller\n \nTuesdays\, August 15th\, 22nd\, 29th & September 12th\, 2023 (skip Sept 5th) | 7:00pm – 9:00pm ET\n \n\n \nAs living beings we experience and carry our share of wounds and places in need of healing. The Buddha’s teachings include a path that ultimately offers us healing from all suffering. \nIn this course we will explore how learning to be fully present in each moment with what is happening in our bodies\, hearts\, and minds can be deeply healing.  \nTogether we will practice connecting with and bringing loving awareness to our direct experience through Vipassana meditation (a Mindfulness practice) and Metta (Loving Kindness) meditation.  \nWe will look at and explore the obstacles and challenges we encounter in this process of opening and how to relate to and move through these difficult places.  \nBringing qualities of interest and kindness to our exploration\, we will investigate how the qualities of allowing what is and letting go can enhance and create space for this opening and healing to occur. \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.
