Free Your Mind in Carbondale, CO
Located in the heart of Carbondale, CO, Meditation Roaring Fork Valley gives Colorado locals the chance to relax, focus and temporarily escape from the busy schedule of their everyday lives. Offering a collection of weekly meditation classes—taught according to the path of liberation, as expressed by Buddha—this center hosts a schedule of teachings and dharma discussions in Buddhist Meditation and Philosophy that are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
In recent years, more studies have shown that there are, indeed, many benefits to meditation. Aside from its obvious use to relieve stress and help us relax, meditation also has many health benefits—helping us to control our thoughts, clear our minds, attain inner peace, develop creativity and improve our overall quality of life. At Meditation Roaring Fork Valley, practiced meditators lead individuals of all levels of experience—teaching the core of Buddha’s method for attaining personal liberation, specifically mindfulness of body, mindfulness of feelings, and mindfulness of mind. Through these teachings, techniques that enhance one’s composure, loving kindness, caring and joy give all students an aptitude for deeper practice, as well as greater insight into their own mind.
Each week, classes at Meditation Roaring Fork Valley begin with a guided meditation, followed by a short talk and resulting discussion related to the skills and abilities necessary for a successful meditation. Guided meditations are led according to the techniques used in “shamantha” or “vipassana” meditation, and further discussion is often held to determine new ways to incorporate meditation into the daily lives of the modern-day busy person. Outside of these classes, meditators offer personal guidance—available upon request—while monthly retreats to locations all over the world give students the opportunity to engage in intensive study and practice special topics.
Classes at Meditation Roaring Fork Valley are typically offered in a series, with each subsequent class reflecting a similar topic to the one before it. The discussions in each class are designed to suit every student, from beginners with no experience to those who have spent many years developing their skills.
