Mary is leading us using a cd on Yoga Nidra. Some of us may wish to lie out on the floor though a chair is fine. You can bring a mat. Here is a website that has some information on Yoga Nidra: https://www.yoganidranetwork.org/a-complete-guide-to-yoga-nidra/

Want Pointers for Leading a Meeting? It may be that some of us would be willing to lead a meeting if we had some pointers and guidelines. This is a participatory group for members of all levels. Actually leading a meeting is a good way to focus our attention and awareness of the principles of mindfulness mediation. If you would like some help leading a meeting please feel free to ask at the meeting. There are several of us who could give you pointers.
