STRESS MANAGEMENT
THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF ZEN

with Joseph Emet

The physical and psychological elements of stress and pressure are interrelated. The psychological part has much to do with how we see and interpret things. In these sessions, we will look into how awareness of our viewpoint helps us to develop Zenitude.

Two people do not always see things the same way. We take our point of view as being natural, however Thich Nhat Hanh warns us of the difference between natural and habitual…

During these sessions, we will practice meditation, and undertake the journey from sitting meditation to everyday life. The sessions are on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 9
at 43 ave De Breslay in Pointe-Claire.

FROM WISE-HUMAN TO MINDFUL-HUMAN

with Chantal Jacques

The 18^th century biologist Carl Linnaeus named our species Homo Sapiens, or Wise Human. However, each day’s news is full of accounts of many so-called Wise Humans acting in cruel and not-so-wise ways. Closer to our time, Thich Nhat Hanh revised that notion, and promoted Mindful Human as the appropriate description for us:

“I define mindfulness as the practice of being fully present and alive, body and mind united. Mindfulness is the energy that helps us to know what is going on in the present moment,” said Thich Nhat Hanh. He wrote about mindful eating, mindful driving, and mindful living.

During these sessions, we will practice mindfulness meditation, and undertake the journey from Wise Human to Mindful Human in everyday life.
