Meditation for Those Who Breathe

Saturdays, March 3 - 24, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. (4 sessions plus retreat)

In all types of mysticism and many spiritual traditions, meditation is the path to the blissful experience of a pure and empowered mind. This four-week course will focus on using the practice of Mindfulness of Breathing for developing the beautiful silence, stillness, and clarity of mind that facilitates the arising of deep insight. The course is suitable for people who have some experience in meditation and want to deepen their practice. 

John Cianciosi is author of The Meditative Path (Quest Books, 2001) and a student of the late Venerable Ajahn Chah. Ordained a Buddhist monk in 1972, he served as spiritual director of monasteries in Thailand and Australia. John also is adjunct professor at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.
