The American Psychological Association’s website provides a list of proven benefits including less somatic distress\, reduced depressive symptoms\, lower anxiety\, less neural reactivity and less emotional reactivity. In addition\, there are positives including better working memory\, better-sustained attention\, better focus\, more cognitive flexibility\, greater relationship satisfaction\, more self-insight\, enhanced intuition\, more equanimity\, greater morality\, greater empathy\, and greater compassion. With a list like that\, what are we waiting for? \nHow do we strengthen our practice of mindfulness? What’s the relationship of mindfulness to yoga? How is mindfulness connected to memory? What happens to our memory as we age? What are the important things to remember? \nIn this series of talks\, we’ll take a deep dive into the long history of mindfulness practice. We’ll listen deeply and reflect on the rich treasure trove of mindfulness and memory practices. And we’ll share specific practices as passed down in the Himalayan Tradition. \nAll are welcome. \n“This practice of constant mindfulness is taught universally by the yogis of the Himalayas\, irrespective of their affiliations.” \n– Swami Veda Bharati \nGary Gran\, CYT\, DAy. Gary and his wife Cynthia have been treading the Himalayan path since the late 1970s. They met at the old Glenview Center in Illinois and have served the tradition in various capacities over the years. They are both certified yoga teachers and Ayurvedic educators. They have published more than eighty articles on yoga\, meditation and Ayurveda. They are currently in winter residence in Tucson\, Arizona\, enjoying winter gardening\, cooking\, and hiking. \n\n	\n\n\nTo support the work of The Meditation Center and register you can donate here  or make a general donation by clicking on the “donate” button on the “Support TMC” website page. \nOr donate through PayPal. \nThere is parking available for TMC visitors in the St. Boniface lot across the street from the Center.
