8:50 AM - 9:20 AM	Mindfulness Meditation - Mindfulness Meditations Meditation is best when used daily while living our lives. The techniques taught in this class will start with raising your awareness of mind/body/breath connection. We will use these techniques and instructions to move our energy and essence to bring in the wholeness of who you truly are instead of focusing on letting go of who you aren’t. As you bring in your truth, what is not your truth naturally moves and transforms. This creates a life-changing shift in perspective from the inside (your beliefs) to the outside actions you take to create the life you desire.If you missed a class, feel free to listen to Caroline's recorded meditation at:  www.bearclanllc.com/meditation Mondays8:50-9:25 AM (doors open at 8:45 am)Slusser Center Wellness Room(no class on June 16, Aug 4 or on the holidays)This program is geared for adults 50+ and is free of charge.  Drop-ins welcome!

8:50 AM - 9:20 AM	Mindfulness Meditation - Mindfulness Meditations Meditation is best when used daily while living our lives. The techniques taught in this class will start with raising your awareness of mind/body/breath connection. We will use these techniques and instructions to move our energy and essence to bring in the wholeness of who you truly are instead of focusing on letting go of who you aren’t. As you bring in your truth, what is not your truth naturally moves and transforms. This creates a life-changing shift in perspective from the inside (your beliefs) to the outside actions you take to create the life you desire.If you missed a class, feel free to listen to Caroline's recorded meditation at:  www.bearclanllc.com/meditation Mondays8:50-9:25 AM (doors open at 8:45 am)Slusser Center Wellness Room(no class on June 16, Aug 4 or on the holidays)This program is geared for adults 50+ and is free of charge.  Drop-ins welcome!
