Various forms of meditation have existed for millennia. But what unifies all of them comes down to the human faculties of Attention & Awareness. Our approach focuses on developing flexible and stable attention, as well as improving the functional relationship between the faculties of attention and awareness (ie improve mindfulness). Because of how fundamental these faculties are, strengthening attention (and its connection to awareness) allows for much more effective mental health improvements. So alongside the meditation training, participants are instructed in the basics of self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional literacy, central nervous-system regulation, and empathic attunement. (This pulls heavily from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and some Attachment-based therapy modalities.) Lastly, the sessions are conducted in a group which meets in a nonreligious and spiritually-neutral environment. Demystify Meditation is not anti-religious nor is it resolutely secular. The intention is to do what we can to ensure that most folks can feel welcome and comfortable. Meditation and mental health are difficult and vulnerable enough as it is.
