The Wellspring Zen Group is a group of beginning and longtime meditators that meets regularly to explore and practice meditation together.
Mindfulness meditation is not a set of beliefs, but set of tools that can be used in any religious tradition. Through regular meditation practice one learns to be with the ups and downs of one’s life in a more spacious and compassionate way. Mindfulness practice changes how we relate to our selves, to our problems, to our daily activities and to life itself. It changes where and how we look for satisfaction and happiness.
Normally we notice things |
What is discovered is that we are enough just as we are and that each moment is enough just as it is. Our usual belief that truth and happiness are not here, not now and not yet is seen through and we learn to stop postponing living. We learn to be present.
By opening to the fullness and completeness of our selves and each moment, our underlying compassion, joy and freedom are revealed and we realize on a deeper level who we really are.
