Mindfulness Meditation
with Allen Atkins, Ph.D.

 

Mindfulness Meditation (Vipassana) is part of an ancient tradition originated by The Buddha, in India, 2,600 years ago.  The practice involves both concentration and contemplative methods of meditation. The meditation helps people learn to focus on the present moment in daily life.

Sedona Creative Life Center, located at 333 Schnebly Hill Road, will have classes every Thursday evening for 6 weeks, beginning September 18, and continuing through October 30, 2008 (no class Oct 9) .  The instructor is Allen Atkins who began meditating in 1970 and has been teaching since 1979.  He has studied with many Western teachers and has also studied in Burma and India.

It is useful if participants attend all 6 classes, as each class builds on previous instruction and practice.  Wear loose, comfortable clothing.  If you want to sit on the floor, bring a firm cushion and a blanket.  Chairs will be available for those who do not wish to sit on the floor.  The cost is only $20 for the entire 6 weeks of classes.  To register please call 928-523-7340 (daytime) or 928-522-9218 (evenings).
