Cross Plains Area Mindfulness Meditation
It is indeed a radical act of love just to sit down and be quiet for a time by yourself.
- Jon Kabat-Zinn
All are welcome to join this open learning community focused on exploring mindfulness meditation practices to cultivate compassion and mutual understanding while enriching our personal faith journeys. No experience necessary.
Coming Up Next:
AUGUST 19, 6:30 pm
Labyrinth Walk at Madison Christian Community 7118 Old Sauk Rd, Madison, WI 53717. Labyrinths are a walking meditation to enable quiet, prayerful reflection. They are found in many religious traditions around the world. The continuous path leads to the center and back out. The labyrinth’s turns and resting places can symbolize your spiritual journey, inviting you to experience the presence of the Spirit in your life. In case of inclement weather, we will meet at St Martin’s Lutheran Church, 2427 Church Street Cross Plains, WI.

What is Mindfulness?
“Mindfulness is non-judgmental awareness of your moment-to-moment experience.” (Sean Fargo)
“Mindfulness is awareness, cultivated by paying attention in a sustained and particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment.” (Jon Kabat-Zinn, 2003)
“The first component of mindfulness involves the self-regulation of attention so that it is maintained on immediate experience, thereby allowing for increased recognition of mental events in the present moment. The second component involves adopting a particular orientation toward one’s experience in the present moment, an orientation that is characterized by curiosity, openness, and acceptance.” (Scott Bishop, et. al, 2004)
