Format for the BWP's Meditations
The BWP's meditations last forty minutes:
Some sessions are "mindful conversations" featuring an invited contemplative thought leader.
Purpose
The purpose of the meditations is to offer care and solace to participants in challenging times.
We aim for the meditations to help participants release anxiety and stress as they find calm and cultivate affirmation for themselves and others.
The meditations are consciously healing times and spaces. The healing is manifest primarily through the participants experiencing the benevolence and thoughtfulness offered by the calming voice of the person who leads the meditation.
Instead of only telling participants what to do in ways that foster imitation or correction, we hope that the guided meditations offer inclusive compassion and comfort by encouraging participants to find what works best for their own well-being.
The meditations have been lead by many healers and they have taken many different forms and themes (metta-bhavana, body scans, sound healing with singing bowls, and more).
Yet, each time the purpose stays the same. Participants engage the power of mindfulness to cultivate loving-kindness for self and others.
Attendance
The average number of participants is ten people. Thus, the meditations serve a regular small community who come from the greater Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area and across the United States.
