Fall 2024 Announcement_Leave Photo.jpg

Dear Friends, 

We’re so excited to share that Phuong ‘s weekly sessions of Mindfulness Meditation will now be available online!

 

Beginning Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 7-8 p.m. PT, you will be able to participate in a mindfulness meditation session via Zoom by registering here

 

Each online meditation session will include 30 minutes of meditating together with a recorded meditation followed by 20 minutes of group sharing and Q&A led by Phuong. The group sharing and Q&A portion is a valuable part of the process for participants to reflect on the meditation session together and build community. 

 

Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Please make sure your email address is entered correctly. To minimize interruptions, participants must arrive no later than 7:15 p.m. to be admitted. 

 

Palo Alto Library will continue to host in-person Mindfulness Meditation at Mitchell Park Library in Palo Alto, CA every Saturday at 1pm. The next in-person meditation session will occur on Saturday, October 19, 2024.  You can find more information here

 

 

 

 

 

For those who cannot attend in person or online, you can view our Mindfulness Meditation video series on YouTube or visit the Palo Alto City Library YouTube channel. You can find guided meditation sessions for beginners in a variety of times from 5 minutes, 20 minutes, 45 minutes, and more! Choose the time that best serves your level of meditation practice. 

 

Meditation is a wonderful way to transform the mind and to develop the following traits: 

  • Clarity

  • Discipline

  • Tolerance

  • Higher qualities

  • Perspective

 

Please see our guide to the benefits of a daily meditation practice and being in the present moment. Do not worry about the length of your meditation. Consistency is key. A 5-minute meditation session every day has tremendous benefits.

 

Put it into daily practice and find out for yourself how much you will grow!
