Often in life, we become so used to the daily appearance/existence of things (both in the physical and spiritual realms) that we begin to stop even noticing them. Mindfulness is the ability to bring back the awareness of what is happening both inside and around us. It is an intuitive system of mind training and self-exploration. By improving concentration and intuitive awareness, one can:

• Achieve physical relaxation
• Have more control over thought processes
• Increase tranquility and the ability to deal with stress
• Heal, physically and psychologically
• Have enhanced spiritual development

We will follow the “Six Wonderful Doors” of the breathing technique into meditation, namely:

• Counting
• Following
• Stopping
• Observing
• Returning
• Calming

With practice, one can connect the mind and the body to stay centered in the present and experience life to the fullest.

This class will mostly be a practice of Mindfulness Meditation by Max Gin, president of Vajrayana Buddhism Association of Hawai`i for the past 15 years.  He will share his knowledge and lead us in using mindfulness skills to connect the mind and body in staying centered in the present, to ultimately help others to live in this complex world with clarity, well being, calm, and happiness.

Inflammation is the cause of all disease and plays a major role in both the mental and biological decline of our bodies. In this modern day, hectic world, we live in a constant state of inflammation. Our diets, our lives, our moods, are not allowing us to relax, reset, and get into a true state of balance. This class will touch upon what inflammation is, how to recognize it, diet and meditation techniques to reduce it, and we’ll have a major focus on the fully legal and non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory ingredient CBD from the cannabis plant.
