TEACHER: Jude Star
THEME: Give Peace a Chance
Jude: I can tell you, my ADHD mind is far more drawn to novelty and stimulation than it is to peace. The idea of peace can seem daunting, because I know that often when I sit to meditate I don’t find peace; instead I find restlessness and uneasiness, my body telling me something is wrong, or something needs to be done right now! But when I take the time to gently bring my body and mind to a more rested state, the peace is glorious, though sometimes subtle, and we can learn to familiarize ourselves with it in a way that it can be present simultaneously with anxiety, worry, pain, and discomfort. Come explore the strategies we can use to find this sometimes elusive peace that is also somehow, once we attune to it, all pervasive.
