Participants will be guided through a systematic exploration of the core principles and practical techniques of meditation based on the book The Science of Meditation. This workshop is specifically designed for beginners, as well as those interested in gaining a deeper, science-based understanding of meditation.

The 3-hour course will be personally led by the author, Weishan Xia, who will combine the scientific theories presented in the book with years of practical meditation experience.

Course Outline:

  • Meditation Posture
  • Progressive Muscle Relaxation
  • Meditation Technique 1: Observing the Breath
