Central Lincoln County Adult Education is offering a Beginner Mediation class on Thursday night, Feb. 26.

Meditation is a simple natural form of relaxing the body and quieting the brain. The busyness of life causes us to have so many things on our minds; our jobs, the kids, finances, relationships, our health and so much more. Our brains are constantly working.

A practice of meditation will help you to quiet your brain, gain focus and clarity, improve your imagination, be more mindful, breathe better, and be better able to handle life’s ups and downs. These are just some of the physical health benefits of meditation.

Learning to meditate is easy; it’s simply something you practice. You will be taught some simple breathing and visualization techniques that will effortlessly become a part of your every day experience. Guided meditation will be used to help you ease into the practice. Please wear comfortable clothing. We will be sitting in chairs.

This course is designed for those who have little experience with meditation, however, all are welcome. Instructor, Eola Therrien is a Certified Reiki teacher and holds a bachelor’s degree in mental health, and is MHRT certified. She believes that everyone should be aware of their own energetic natural healing abilities and have the tools to live and be their truest selves.

The course will be held at Great Salt Bay School from 6 to 8 p.m. The cost of the course is $24.
