Meditating in a group, either in-person or remotely, can help strengthen your meditation practice, as well as add the joy of working with other humans to your experience. When all of us are practicing together, using the same techniques and style of meditation, it enhances our learning and validates the significance of meditating.
A group working together is powerful and can be very fulfilling. When working towards the same goal, whether the mission of an organization, the professional goal of a company, or the unified practice of a team, the mindset of an individual within the group is magnified. Now, that’s power! It can also be fun, as well as help motivate and increase the commitment of those in the group.
Creating consistency with your personal, individual meditation practice is extremely important. It is needed for a strong foundation to support your long-term commitment to meditation. But adding in meditating as a group, whether a guided meditation, class, or workshop, provides validation of what you are doing. Group meditation can help increase your confidence and courage, as well as provide opportunities for communication and communion that can make the experience more real and potentially enjoyable participants.
If you have hesitancy in working as a group because of past experiences, please reach out. If group meditation is of interest to you, learning and practicing the techniques that I teach can help you let go of past time energy and change old patterns, giving room for a fresh perspective and a new way of operating.
Meditation can help you enjoy life more fully, and can be a joy in and of itself!
