[Downtown Dharma Listserve] Midday Mindfulness Break - 12 to 12:20pm, weekdays in May

Hi friends,

Despite having a regular morning meditation practice, the pandemic threw me for an emotional loop in March (as it did for many of us!). It also gave me a lot more time at home. In response, I thought it'd be a good idea to commit to a 10-minute sit during the work day.

It took some time to make this a habit. But this shorter sit has been really helpful for returning me to awareness, and helping me respond more wisely to inner reactivity.

If you're interested in a bite-sized mindfulness practice in the middle of the day, IMCW's Center for Mindful Living is hosting a 20-minute mindfulness session at 12 noon every weekday this month. It includes:

• A few minutes for community introductions
• 5 minutes of seated stretches (to invite awareness to the body and breath)
  
• 10 minutes of guided meditation

We say a collective "good-bye" at 12:20 on the dot -- sending folks to lunch hopefully feeling more connected and mindful for the afternoon. All are welcome, and no experience is necessary.

More information (including Zoom link) is here:

Warmly,

Vince
