4 Guides For Teaching Meditation Classes by Ashira R
[May 21, 2008]
There are as many ways to practice meditation as there are ways to try and explain it. My experience has been that the best way to explain something to another, is to teach another. For in teaching another, it is when I begin to learn and understand deeper what meditation is and the depths within that it can touch. In my personal experience of teaching others meditation in different forms of thought there are a few tips that I have personally found beneficial. So I share them with you now.
1. Remember all are beginners until the end.
By this I mean do not lead as an expert, lead as a participant who is always learning. It is by teaching that we are taught. This is the most important whether this is your first class or the 100th class. When one acts as though they are the expert, the mind closes which is the exact opposite of the true nature and objective of meditation. Meditation instruction is a really simple subject that requires very little instruction outwardly. Inwardly, there is limitless depth one can learn and share from. Each journey will be as different as each sunset. Allowing rather than doing will share more of a person's knowledge.
