SUMMARY:Music is Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Age-old practices of meditation\, such as Zen\, remain an effective means of promoting stress-reduction and attaining self-awareness.  \nThis series\, entitled “Music is Meditation\,” will explore the possibilities of using “musical mantras” in the place of verbal ones in the practice of collective meditation.  \nEach session will entail two 20-minute meditation periods\, each employing recurrent musical motives or tranquil meandering themes\, played on keyboard\, as a focus for inward centering.  \nThe first meeting will begin with a brief introduction to the practice of collective meditation.  \nParticipants should wear comfortable clothing\, and bring a small mat if intending to sit on the floor. Chairs will be provided.  \nMusic is Meditation will meet weekly at 9:00am- 10:00am on Friday mornings for 4 sessions (April 3\, 10\, 17 and May 1\, skipping April 24 for school break)\nFee for the 4 class series is $50.\nClick HERE to Register for Music is Meditation
