SUMMARY:Wednesday Weekly Meditation and Talk with Michael Gayner
DESCRIPTION:Much research has shown that meditation is one of the very best ways to cultivate the brain states of self-awareness\, calm and inner peace\, lovingkindness\, mindfulness\, and happiness – as well as strengthen the immune system and nurture other health benefits. \nThis week\, Michael Gayner will be returning as our guest teacher for Wednesday’s Talk and Meditation. Michael was the Executive Director of Drala Mountain Center from 2012 to 2023\, and has been practicing meditation since the mid-1980s. He has a Ph.D. in Education with a focus on holistic education\, and on the intersection of teaching and spiritual practice. Michael is presently serving as the President of the Global Compassion Coalition\, and has a coaching and consulting practice. \nThese teachings are offered freely\, at no charge. And if you like\, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Michael and Rick’s Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart\, relaxes the contraction of “self\,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps\, eventually\, even oneself.
