Learn How To Meditate At Bell Works In Holmdel

HOLMDEL, NJ — Are you interested in learning how to meditate, but are unsure how to do it on your own or where to start?

Josh Wright, based out of Bell Works in Holmdel, is starting a User-Friendly Meditation class/introduction to mindfulness-based stress reduction course. The class meets once a week, on Tuesday evenings, at Bell Works. It is free to attend, or pay as you see fit. Details:

• March 10 to April 28 (eight weeks)
• Tuesday evenings, 6:30 - 9:00 p.m.
• There will be a one-hour intro session on March 4 (6:30 p.m.)
• One “mini-retreat” day in April

• Meeting at Bell Works, Holmdel Recreation Dept. space (next to the library)
• Pay as you wish
• All experience levels, ages 16+

Writes Wright: "Skills are better than pills: Looking for a new way to recharge? Want to learn to meditate but overwhelmed by the options? Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an approachable, evidence-based program. It combines a range of meditation techniques, interactive discussions, and yoga-based mindful movement to expand your toolkit for handling whatever life throws at you."

Why take a class when I can just download an app? Meditation cultivates mental wellness the way an athlete cultivates physical fitness. Just like hitting the gym, it helps to:

1. Find a community to support and inspire you.
2. Get personalized answers to your questions.
3. Focus on proven techniques.

MBSR launched the scientific study of meditation’s benefits, and it’s common in medical schools around the world for treating everything from chronic pain to anxiety and depression. Toward the end of the course, we’ll review meditation apps and other options for developing your own personal practice, so you can continue your journey after the course is over.
