Introduction to Meditation

The first in our 2026 series of guided meditations.

We will be introducing basic meditation techniques that will lay the foundation for the rest of our 2026 series. This will be a series of short guided meditations in a single sitting.

We will explore:

1. Focused attention on the breath
2. Detailed attention to the sensations of the body
3. Wide open awareness
4. Metta (Loving Kindness)

By doing a series of short meditations on different objects of attention, we'll explore how each practice supports opening more fully to the present moment.

These foundational techniques are simple, but deeply powerful, and lay the basis for future meditation practices.

All are welcome. It will be by donation (including no donation at all), and will be lead by Patrick Hayes.
