The Yi Jing (I Ching) is an ancient Chinese divination text that traces its origin to well before 2000 B.C.

Joseph F. Fiala, Ph.D. (the elder Joe Fiala) will be offering a 5-week course entitled, "Mindfulness in Everyday Life." This class will teach mindfulness which helps to reduce stress and improve one's quality of living.
Mindfulness meditation helps to reduce stress and improve one's quality of living. Meditation is a way to make the mind more stable and clear and the body more relaxed and healthy. It provides a way to train our mind to settle into this state. Our first reason for practicing meditation might be that we want some freedom from our agitated thoughts. We want to discover the basic goodness of our natural mind. Or, perhaps, we just want some relief from stress and agitation, a little place to escape. The practice of mindfulness is the practice of being alive 24/7. 

"Mindfulness in Everyday Life" will be held Wednesday nights from 6.30-7.45pm beginning January 25th and running through February 22nd, 2012. This class will meet in the Blue Room at The Light Clinic and is open to the public. The intent is to guide the participant through learning and establishing a successful mindfulness practice for better living. Cost is $75, with a sliding scale for those needing financial assistance.  Previous attendees may join the class for a refresher, donations welcome. To register or for more information, please send an email to joe.fiala@gmail.com or call 502.875.3262.
