Practice the Art of Stillness
About this class
By maintaining stillness, you can cultivate a balanced, non-reactive mind, helping you stay calm and centered.
In this meditation you will be guided to explore your relationship to stillness, practicing non-reactivity when your mind tells your body to move because it's itchy, uncomfortable, or simply bored. Resisting your habitual impulses in this way will help retrain your mind for stillness and equanimity, becoming less reactive to the things that usually trigger it.
