Community Meditation Oct 25th, 2026

Authentic-Life Counseling hosts community meditation on the last Sunday of every month from 9:30 to 11:00 AM to promote the peace and the well-being of our community. 

No previous meditation experience necessary!

This month we'll meet on Sunday, October 25th at Simms Lake Park

• We meet in the meadow just below the pond.

• The meadow is on the side of the pond next to the statue of the man sitting in the park bench.

• Bring something to sit on - a towel or yoga mat at the ground will be wet.

This Month's Topic: Awareness of Awareness

What are you focused on right now, at this very moment?

Your awareness is either consciously or unconsciously being directed to something in this and every moment.

Understanding your awareness—its nature and your personal proclivities—is one of the most fascinating and beneficial meditation objects.

Let's look at it together:

• Does your awareness have a specific quality (e.g., is it narrowly focused or expansive)?

• Is being narrowly focused or expansive your usual baseline, or does one feel novel?

• Can you intentionally shift between narrow focus and spacious awareness?

• Would changing it benefit you—perhaps in relation to something confusing or challenging?

• What are your most familiar objects of awareness? Your location? Work schedule? A personal goal or desire?

  
  

We can keep going... and we will if you join us!

Schedule:

• Topic Discussion: Awareness of Awareness

• 20-Minute Meditation With Crystal Bowl Sound Bath

• Mindful Sharing: An opportunity to share challenges or insights from your mindfulness and meditation practices (optional).

What to Bring:

• Meditation cushion

TESTIMONIALS

Today I had the most beautiful, peaceful, and mindful morning meditation. I took a few minutes to relax and connect my body and mind. I noticed the sounds around me, and for the first time I could see and feel my lungs expanding! Diane is wonderful, she guided our meditation group step by step. I really enjoyed having this amazing experience! I'm grateful for the present moment and the fullness of life!I can't wait for our next meditation group with Diane! - YK
