Ease into Meditation is a relaxed and informal meditation series that partners clear instruction in classic Shamatha meditation with hands on group meditation sessions.
We will develop a deep base of relaxation where we can ease into meditation and begin to quiet body, speech and mind, the keys for taming our ruminating “monkey mind.”
There will also be guided meditations to inspire you to take your practice beyond the cushion and engage your world in a more meaningful way.
If you are looking to start a practice with a solid foundation, or if you want to sharpen your skills, and have the support of a group, then this is for you.
This series is led by Rick Blue, an Annisquam resident, a former founding member of the Mahasukha Center in Los Angeles, and former Resident Teacher and Spiritual Advisor for Wisdom’s Heart, a Buddhist educational center in Cape Ann, Massachusetts, both under the guidance of Spiritual Teacher Lama Marut.
Rick has most recently studied shamatha and dzogchen meditation with Lamas B. Alan Wallace and Douglas Veenhof.
