Mindfulness Meditation with Gil Fronsdal
Gil Fronsdal will be leading an in-person mindfulness meditation session at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California.
The session will also be available for livestream viewing on YouTube and the IMC website.
Mindfulness meditation, also known as insight meditation or vipassana, is a simple technique that helps focus and calm the mind.
It involves observing the present moment without judgment, which can lead to increased awareness and clarity.
This practice can be beneficial for managing daily life stressors and also serves as a spiritual path for personal growth.
During this introductory course, participants will learn sequential instructions for mindfulness meditation, starting with focusing on the breath and then expanding to other aspects such as the body, emotions, and thoughts.
Gil Fronsdal, the senior guiding co-teacher at IMC, has been practicing Buddhism since 1975 and has been teaching at IMC since 1990.
He is authorized to teach in both the Insight Meditation and Soto Zen traditions and holds a Ph.D. in Buddhist Studies from Stanford University.
