Tips for Enjoying the Virtual Group Meditation
Do what you can to create a peaceful, calm environment where you will not be distracted or disturbed. We will be doing a guided meditation, so you will want to create a safe, quiet, calm environment that will help you remain focused.
Watch in a secluded room, or with others who are joining you for the meditation. Politely ask others in your household to not disturb you while attending the group meditation.
If you are watching this on a computer, put your computer in "do not disturb" mode.
Turn off or silence your phones.
Set aside all papers, magazines, books, mail, and other things that will distract you.
Find a chair or cushion where you can sit comfortably still during the 30 minute meditation.
Adjust the volume to where you can hear clearly. You may want to use earbuds if there is background noise where you are.
Feel free to close your eyes during the meditation and the talk and listen with an open heart and open mind. Try to feel and understand the reality to which the words point.
Your feedback about how it went for you is important and will be taken into consideration. Please feel free to give us your feedback using our Feedback Form.
Thank you and be well!
