Mindful Meditation with Diane Weber
Are you looking for ways to better manage your stress, anxiety and/or depression more effectively?  Do you want to have a fun time learning new skills, or honing some you already have?  I would like to invite you to experience a relaxing, mindful meditation with me.  We will take one hour using guided imagery to release tension, calm the central nervous system and regain equanimity.  As we begin to learn about diaphragmatic breathing, we will sit in a circle using physical distancing at the onset.  We will then practice this breathing technique, and then get settled into our seats for the guided imagery.  Once we complete the imagery, we will discuss ways to continue our journey into health and well being.  This will be an in-person event unless otherwise notified.  The date will be determined with participants.
