Why do we meditate?       

(the Diversity of Meditation Styles & Approaches 8)
 
In our survey of the variety of meditation styles, we encounter our meditation hopes, aims, and purposes. Recognizing and examining these aspirations and objectives is part of skillful meditation practice. There are the reasons for meditating that we tell ourselves. And there are motivations and influences that are less overt. Let's explore these together.

Please ponder these questions and join our sharing this Wednesday:

• What gets you on the cushion? And to Sangha? 
• When you think of a 'good meditation,' what makes it good? 
• How does meditation benefit your life and those around you?

You may wish to bring a cushion that can support your back well and a large towel for better bottom support. Good posture is more comfortable and aids letting go. 

Our once a month series explores a broad range of meditation styles and practices. This series supports an expanded repertoire of meditation skills and serves as a basis for on-going discussions concerning the nature, purpose, and potential of meditation practice.
