Meditative concentration, also known as calm-abiding, is a state of mind where all the disturbances due to dysfunctional reactions of body and mind are pacified and we find our attention abiding blissfully on whatever object of meditation we focus on. Contrary to popular beliefs, great effort and willpower are not necessary to accomplish it. Rather, the skillful and wise application of our mindfulness, coupled with the attitude of kindness and letting go, transforms our usual effortful struggle in meditation to an effortless process of settling deeply into concentration.

Release from bodily tensions due to stress and calming of distressing ruminative thinking are just some of the benefits we can expect through such practice. The workshop will feature explanations, guided meditations and time for Q&A. All are welcome.
