In the first segment, called "Doing," we will focus on techniques to quiet the busy mind and explore four different forms of meditation: Focused, Mindful, Mantra, and Spiritual.
Throughout the segment, we will gradually increase the duration of our practice from 5 minutes to 40 minutes or longer. This progression will allow you to deepen your meditation experience by quieting the agitation that prevents us from successfully practicing.
